If you were involved in a motor vehicle collision, you will need to file a claim under your Personal Injury Protection insurance to cover the cost of your medical treatment.
In Florida, the person who is at fault for an auto accident is responsible for property damage up to the maximum amount of insurance coverage they possess.
If you sustained severe injuries, you may need to pursue compensation beyond what is covered by your Personal Injury Protection insurance. An auto accident lawyer at Parker Waichman LLP can help you file a personal injury lawsuit.
You will be unable to file a lawsuit and pursue additional compensation unless you meet the state’s serious injury threshold.
The following types of injuries meet Florida’s serious injury threshold:

The letter will also include the amount of compensation you are requesting to settle your claim. In most cases, claims are settled through negotiations.
If the negotiations are not successful, your auto accident lawyer may advise you to pursue compensation by filing a lawsuit against the negligent driver.

I’m a 9/11 first responder, and I can honestly say that Parker Waichman made me feel like they had my best interest in my VCF case. Ms Candalino & Ms Viti are top notch in my book. I was constantly informed on the status of my case. I would definitely recommend Parker Waichman LLP to family and friends.
