Does Florida’s No-Fault Law Prevent Me from Suing the At-Fault Driver After a West Palm Beach Car Accident?

Does Florida's No-Fault Law Prevent From Suing At-Fault Driver After West Palm Beach Car Accident?

Not always. Florida’s no-fault system requires you to first use your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, but you may step outside that system and pursue a claim against the at-fault driver if your injuries meet Florida’s “serious injury” threshold under § 627.737, F.S., such as significant scarring, permanent limitation, or substantial loss of bodily function. A West Palm Beach car accident attorney can review the details of your injuries and help determine the right path forward.
