Florida's Fault Rule
You can recover even if 99% at fault
Trucks must stay in the right lane on multi-lane highways. Violations establish negligence and unsafe operation.
Trucks are limited to 55 mph on rural highways and 70 mph on interstate highways. Speed violations are strong evidence of negligence.
Trucks must maintain safe following distance. Rear-end accidents often result in liability for the truck driver.
You can recover damages even if you're partially at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
You have 4 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is longer than most states.
Your own insurance covers medical expenses regardless of fault. You can pursue additional damages for serious injuries.
Minor injuries (sprains, strains)
$60,000 - $180,000
Moderate injuries (fractures, lacerations)
$180,000 - $550,000
Serious injuries (head trauma, spinal injury)
$550,000 - $2,200,000
Catastrophic injuries (permanent disability, disfigurement)
$2,200,000 - $5,000,000+
Note: These ranges are based on typical settlements. Your case value depends on medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and liability strength. Florida's no-fault law means your insurance covers medical expenses, but you can pursue additional damages for serious injuries.
