When our attorneys review a crash case with victims, we must consider their options based on Florida’s auto insurance laws. In general, individuals injured in most Coral Springs auto accidents must turn to their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) no-fault insurance coverage to pay for their medical care and a portion of their lost income.
Only those who sustained serious injuries can file a fault-based claim. This requires that they provide evidence to show their injuries are serious and that the other party caused their collision and injuries. A Coral Springs car accident lawyer from our team can manage this part of the case for you if you qualify.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), Florida’s no-fault car accident laws require every driver to carry:
This is the insurance policy that covers minor and moderate injuries they suffer up to the policy maximum. It pays for a portion of medical care and lost income, regardless of the cause of the crash.
However, some victims are able to pursue fault-based compensation beyond the limits of their PIP policies. This is only possible when they have serious injuries as classified under Florida law. Our team has someone who can assess your case and explain your options. We have someone available 24/7 to take your call and schedule your conversation with our team.
If you have serious injuries from a Coral Springs car accident, our attorneys can help. We know how to navigate many different types of accidents, investigate their causes, document fault and liability, and seek compensation. This includes:
Florida law defines serious injuries under Florida Statutes § 627.737. Under this section of the law, crash victims can step outside the state’s no-fault insurance rules and sue the at-fault driver for damages if they have one or more of the following:
Wrongful death also qualifies the victim’s personal representative to pursue fault-based damages.
While Broward Health Coral Springs is the closest hospital for most hurt in Coral Springs, those with serious injuries may need to seek medical care at a designated trauma facility. Florida Health includes two Broward County hospitals on this list:
These hospitals provide emergency stabilization, treatment, and rehabilitation for catastrophic injuries, including:
Being able to pursue a case based on fault provides a way for seriously injured victims to recover additional compensation to cover their accident-related expenses and losses. A PIP claim might pay for up to $10,000, including:
For those with serious injuries, this amount will not cover a significant portion of the costs they incur for treatment, time missed working, and related costs. In addition, there is no option to recover money for non-economic losses through PIP coverage.
When a Coral Springs car accident lawyer builds a fault-based claim and pursues compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurer or through an uninsured motorist claim, we can often recover a wide range of damages. This could include:
A wrongful death attorney from our team can help you understand your rights and navigate the process necessary to hold an at-fault driver responsible for your loved one’s loss. Under Florida law, only the victim’s personal representative can file a wrongful death action and pursue compensation for surviving family members.

When you call on our Coral Springs car accident attorneys to handle your car accident case, we will take the necessary steps to build strong support for your claim, develop a case strategy and approach, and negotiate or litigate compensation. We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach, but some of the steps that are often necessary include:
One tactic liable parties and their insurance carriers may use to attempt to reduce or deny car accident claims is to shift the blame onto you. Our attorneys are prepared to go toe-to-toe with insurers in these cases, fighting to minimize the effect this could have on your payout.
This is crucial because Florida follows modified comparative negligence laws. Under
Florida Statutes § 768.81, any party who carries more than 50 percent of the fault for a crash cannot recover damages.
It is up to the jury to determine how fault is shared in these cases, so we need to present strong evidence showing the at-fault driver caused the crash and you did not significantly contribute to your own injuries.
If you suffered serious injuries in your Coral Springs crash, contact our team as soon as possible. When you contact our team early, we can protect your rights and advocate for you throughout the claims process.

Some reasons why we encourage crash victims to call our team in the first days or weeks after suffering serious injuries include:
Having legal guidance and representation early in your case can prevent costly errors. Our Coral Springs car accident attorneys will manage your case and ensure you are in the best position to recover appropriate compensation based on the damages you experience.
Florida has a strict deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits, including fault-based car accident claims. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, victims generally only have two years to file the initial complaint or lose the right to do so.
PIP claims also have strict deadlines, so you will want to act as quickly as possible to consider your options. Our team can evaluate your next steps and navigate the process for you.
