Car Accidents in Florida

Florida continues to rank among the states with the highest number of motor vehicle accidents each year. In 2023 alone, over 390,000 traffic crashes occurred statewide, injuring more than 250,000 people. Intersections like Sinclair Dr and Fruitville Rd are common sites of injury-causing crashes, especially during evening hours when traffic is heavy and visibility may begin to fade.

In today’s case, let’s explore how insurance issues often affect accident victims in Florida:

Florida’s No-Fault Law: Every driver must carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which covers up to $10,000 in medical expenses and lost wages—regardless of who caused the crash. However, this may not cover all costs after a serious injury.
Dealing with Insurance Adjusters: Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts. Victims may be pressured into quick settlements or statements that can be used against them.
Underinsured/Uninsured Motorists: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient coverage, your own insurance may have to step in—if you have the right type of policy. This can delay compensation or complicate claims.
Property Damage Claims: Replacing or repairing a vehicle often takes longer than expected. Disputes over value or repair costs are common, particularly with older vehicles.
Medical Billing Delays: Hospitals may delay billing or submit claims to the wrong insurer, which can lead to unexpected out-of-pocket expenses or even debt collection efforts.
Wrongful Denials: Insurance providers sometimes deny valid claims outright. Appealing these decisions can be stressful without legal assistance.
