Understanding Key Florida Laws After a Miami Crash

Florida's insurance laws are complex, and mistakes can be costly. Here are two critical things every Miami driver needs to know:

Florida's PIP "14-Day Rule"

Florida is a "No-Fault" state, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance is your first source of recovery for medical bills (up to $10,000). CRITICAL: You MUST seek initial medical treatment from a qualified provider within 14 days of the accident, or you could forfeit your right to these benefits entirely.

The Importance of UM/UIM Coverage in Miami

Miami-Dade County has an alarmingly high number of uninsured or underinsured drivers. If one of them hits you, their lack of coverage could leave you with massive bills. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on your own policy is a vital safety net. Our attorneys are experts at navigating these complex claims to ensure you get the compensation you paid for.

Common Types of Car Accidents We Handle in Miami

Car accidents can happen in many ways, and each presents unique challenges. At Burnetti, P.A., our Miami car accident attorneys have seen it all. Some of the most common types of accidents we handle include:

• Drunk driving accidents
• Distracted driving accidents
• Rear-end collisions
• T-bone crashes
• Head-on collisions

How Insurance Companies Work

Insurance companies are notorious for offering quick, lowball settlements to car accident victims. They may pressure you to accept a smaller payout than you are entitled to, often hoping to close the case before you have time to fully understand the extent of your injuries. An experienced Miami car accident attorney from Burnetti, P.A. will ensure you aren’t taken advantage of and will fight for a fair settlement.

Insurance companies may delay or deny your claim for several reasons, including:

• Claiming the policy wasn’t valid at the time of the accident
• Arguing that the driver wasn’t covered by the policy
• Disputing the severity of your injuries
• Alleging that you were partly at fault for the accident

At Burnetti, P.A., we have years of experience negotiating with insurance companies. Our attorneys know the tactics insurers use to minimize payouts, and we are committed to securing the full compensation you deserve.

What Is Your Miami Car Accident Claim Worth?

While every case is unique, we fight to recover compensation for every single loss you have suffered. This can include:

• Medical Expenses: All costs for ER visits, hospital stays, surgery, future rehabilitation, and medical equipment.

• Lost Wages: Income you've lost while out of work.

• Loss of Earning Capacity: If your injuries impact your ability to earn a living in the future.

• Property Damage: The cost to repair or replace your vehicle.

• Pain and Suffering: Significant compensation for your physical pain, emotional trauma, and loss of enjoyment of life.

• Wrongful Death: If you lost a loved one, we can pursue a claim for funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.

Can I Recover Damages If I Was Partially At Fault?

Yes. Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you are not found to be more than 50% responsible for the crash, you can still recover damages. However, your total compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance companies will try to shift as much blame as possible onto you. Our job is to fight back with evidence to protect your right to a full and fair recovery.
