Miami Underinsured or Uninsured Accident Lawyers

As Miami car accident lawyers, we know that accidents are often a frustrating occurrence in anyone’s life, but are made that much more upsetting when the responsible party lacks appropriate insurance in Florida. The underinsured or uninsured motorists are those which you need to be wary of and will be unable to fully compensate the amount of injuries or damages through an existing policy. Therefore, you will need to look outside the scope of insurance policies to recoup the damages which their actions caused.

Florida Insurance Requirements

The state of Florida requires motorists to hold insurance on their motor vehicles and register with the state. Motorists are required to purchase and maintain minimum coverage of $10,000 personal injury protection and $10,000 property damage liability for the extent of time they have a valid Florida license plate. Personal injury protection will cover your own damage, regardless of fault, up to the limit of your policy. The policy will also cover certain passengers and family members who are not covered under their own policies. Bodily insurance liability is separate from personal injury protection and will cover serious injuries or death to others when you are at fault for an accident. The insurance company will pay for injuries up to the limits of your policy and will provide legal protection in the case of legal claims.

Unfortunately, many people knowingly break the insurance requirements in Florida and tempt fate by driving without insurance. When these individuals cause accidents, they do not have the protection of an insurance company to fall back on, and instead have to front their own costs of damages and the damages to other individuals involved in the accident.

Florida Accident Recovery

You are able to bring a claim for damages which includes the following:

Insurance companies normally front a good portion of the damages after an accident, although an uninsured driver will not have this luxury. Instead, a levy may be placed on their funds until the full amount of damages is repaid to you. Depending on the financial state of the individual, you may receive your damages soon after the accident, or up to years later.
