Liability Laws After a Car Accident

One of the first steps when filing a car accident claim is to determine who is liable for your injuries. In Florida an “at-fault” rule is used to determine liability. This rule means that the driver who caused an accident is the one responsible for paying damages, through an insurance carrier.

While this may seem obvious some states do follow no-fault system where in each party files a claim with their own insurance regardless of who is responsible for causing the accident.

While this Florida’s at-fault law is simple in situations where only one driver is responsible for causing and accident, many accidents involve the fault of more than one party, no matter how small. For example, a driver who is only partially at fault may have been driving a little bit about the speed limit or failed to use a turn signal.

In these cases, an injured driver can still recover compensation through Florida’s “modified comparative fault" rule. This rule says that an injured party can still file a claim against the negligent party however,

  • The percentage of responsibility an injured party is found to bear will also be deducted from their overall compensation awarded. For example, if you are found to be 10% at fault for the accident, the total compensation awarded to you will also be reduced by 10%.
  • You can only pursue a claim if your share of fault is less than 50%

You should take pictures of the incident site, your injuries, and any property damage to supplement this report.
