Florida has specific laws in place that pertain to automobile accidents, automobile insurance, medical benefits, and death benefits. Often times, people misunderstand the term Florida No Fault Law. Florida does not give immunity to those who are at fault for accidents. The Florida No Fault Law merely directs how insurance benefits are paid out and applied. Furthermore, there is a requirement that an injury victim suffer a permanent type of injury to claim damages for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. While there are some restrictions with Florida’s laws, there is no immunity to a person who drives negligently and causes serious personal injuries and / or death to others.
