When people are injured in accidents because of the negligence of another, they are entitled to seek compensation. Florida law permits up to four years from the date of an injury to file a negligence claim. However, there are exceptions. Injured accident victims should consult with Spivey Law Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.A. to discuss their rights to compensation. Based on the case, accident victims may be entitled to recover past and future medical expenses, property damages, past and future pain and suffering, and other economic losses, such as past and future lost wages and certain other unique or statutory damages where applicable.

There are several potential sources of insurance that provide coverage in accident cases, including bodily injury liability coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, umbrella/excess coverage, personal injury protection coverage (PIP), medical payments coverage, and other sources.

Florida insurance companies that sell automobile insurance are required to offer uninsured and underinsured coverage to their customers. When a negligent driver causes an accident and does not have insurance, or has insufficient insurance, accident victims may be entitled to compensation under their automobile insurance policy or that of a family member. This protection also applies to accidents caused by hit-and-run drivers.

Sometimes, Florida insurance companies act in “bad faith” by not settling a claim when they could have and should have done so had they acted fairly and honestly toward their insured. Additional damages that exceed insurance policy limits can be obtained if an insurance company acts in "bad faith."
