Florida's No-Fault Rules Don't Have to Limit Your Recovery

Florida's no-fault PIP system requires every driver to carry $10,000 of Personal Injury Protection coverage that pays a portion of your medical bills regardless of fault. That coverage runs out quickly in a serious collision, and many crash victims do not realize they can step outside PIP and pursue the at-fault driver directly when injuries meet the statutory threshold.

The Marin Law Offices helps drivers and passengers across Miami-Dade and Broward understand the full coverage stack. PIP, bodily injury liability, uninsured and underinsured motorist, MedPay, and umbrella policies, and pursue every available recovery path. Consultations are free and available in English and Spanish.

    Consultations, depositions, and document review handled in English and Spanish.

  • Direct Attorney Access

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Auto Injury Claims

Standard collision claims involving personal vehicles and routine traffic patterns.

Rear-End Collisions

Following-distance and inattentive-driving cases with strong liability presumptions.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

When the at-fault driver flees, uninsured-motorist coverage often becomes the recovery path.

Drunk Driving Crashes

DUI-involved collisions, dram shop liability, and punitive damage exposure.

Distracted Driving

Texting and phone-use crashes where phone records and EDR data preservation matter.

Rideshare (Uber & Lyft)

Stage-specific coverage rules in Uber and Lyft policies, where the period of operation determines the available limits.

How a Disputed-Liability Rear-End Claim Gets Built

The Problem

A driver is rear-ended on a South Florida arterial. The at-fault driver tells police she 'did not see' the lead car braking; her insurer initially disputes the force of impact and offers a fraction of the medicals.

Our Approach

The firm pulls the police report, requests EDR data, locates a surveillance camera at a nearby business, and obtains updated medical records documenting cervical injury and the recommended course of treatment. We identify a UM policy that meaningfully expands available coverage.

The Outcome

Liability is reframed from contested to clear, the medical picture is documented through maximum medical improvement, and negotiation proceeds against multiple coverage layers rather than the PIP cap alone.

  • PIP + BI + UM

Car Accident Questions, Answered

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer? +
Almost never without an attorney's review. Early offers are typically extended before medical treatment is complete and before the long-term picture is clear. Once you sign a release, you generally cannot reopen the claim, even if your symptoms worsen, you require additional surgery, or a missed diagnosis surfaces later. Insurers know this and time their offers accordingly. A short conversation before you sign anything almost always pays for itself.
Do I have a claim if I was partially at fault? +
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found more than 50 percent at fault you generally cannot recover; below that threshold, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault.
What is PIP and how does it work? +
Personal Injury Protection is Florida's no-fault coverage. Every registered driver carries at least $10,000 that pays a portion of medical bills regardless of fault. It typically does not cover the full picture of a serious injury, which is why pursuing the at-fault driver still matters.
What if the other driver was uninsured? +
Your own uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage often becomes the primary recovery source. We routinely identify UM/UIM layers that clients did not realize they had.
How long do I have to file? +
Florida's statute of limitations for negligence-based injury claims was shortened in 2023 from four years to two years for most accidents on or after that date. The safest course is to consult an attorney early.
What if I was hit by an Uber or Lyft driver? +
Rideshare cases turn on the driver's app status at the moment of the crash. App-off, app-on-no-ride, en-route, and on-trip each unlock different coverage levels under the rideshare company's policy.
