PIP Claims in Florida

Your No-Fault Coverage Explained

Florida is a no-fault state. Every owner of a vehicle registered in Florida must carry $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP). After a crash, your PIP coverage pays 80% of medical expenses and 60% of lost wages β€” regardless of who caused the accident. But there's a catch: you must seek medical treatment within 14 days, or you forfeit PIP entirely.

If a doctor diagnoses an "emergency medical condition," you can access the full $10,000. Without that diagnosis, PIP caps at $2,500. Insurers use this distinction to slash payouts. We make sure your medical records support the full benefit you're entitled to.

Dealing With Insurance Adjusters
Their Job Is to Pay You Less
πŸŽ™οΈ

Recorded Statements

Adjusters ask for recorded statements "just to get the facts." These recordings are designed to trap you into admissions that minimize your claim. You are not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer. Don't do it without a lawyer.

πŸ”

Medical Record Fishing

Adjusters request broad medical authorizations to dig through your history for pre-existing conditions they can blame for your current injuries. We limit what they see to records relevant to this crash β€” nothing more.

⏳

Delay Tactics

Insurers stall, request redundant documents, and "investigate" endlessly. The goal is financial pressure β€” making you desperate enough to accept a lowball offer. We set deadlines and hold them accountable.

Denied Claims & Bad Faith
When Insurers Break the Rules

A denial isn't the end. It's the beginning of a fight.

🚫

Wrongful Denials

Insurers deny claims by claiming treatment wasn't "medically necessary," that you missed the 14-day deadline, or that your injuries are pre-existing. These denials are often boilerplate β€” not based on the facts of your case. We challenge them with your medical records and Florida law.

⚠️

Bad Faith Insurance

Under Florida Statute Β§ 624.155, insurers must act in good faith. When they deny valid claims, delay unreasonably, or refuse to settle within policy limits, they may be acting in bad faith β€” and you can recover damages beyond the policy limits. A Civil Remedy Notice starts the process.

βš–οΈ

PIP Lawsuits

If your PIP insurer wrongfully denies or underpays benefits, Florida law lets you challenge the decision, starting with a formal pre-suit demand letter that gives the insurer 30 days to pay. If the insurer still refuses, you can file suit. Since the 2023 tort reform, attorney's fees in PIP cases are recoverable only in limited circumstances, so the demand needs to be done right.

Local Providers, Local Knowledge

Hollywood accident victims often receive treatment at Memorial Regional Hospital on Johnson Street β€” a Level I trauma center β€” or at urgent care facilities along US-1 and Sheridan Street. The quality of your medical documentation directly affects your claim. We know which local providers document injuries thoroughly and which records hold up under insurer scrutiny.

Florida's insurance landscape is unique, and Broward County adjusters have their own patterns. Alexandra's experience with local insurers, their tactics, and the Broward court system helps her anticipate how your claim will be handled.

What is the 14-day rule for PIP in Florida?
You must seek medical treatment within 14 days of a car accident to qualify for PIP benefits. Miss the deadline and you forfeit the entire $10,000 in coverage β€” even if your injuries are real. See a doctor immediately, even if you feel okay.
Do I have to give a recorded statement to the insurance company?
You are not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. Your own insurer may require cooperation under your policy, but you should talk to a lawyer first. Adjusters use recorded statements to minimize claims β€” not to help you.
What is bad faith insurance in Florida?
Under Florida Statute Β§ 624.155, bad faith occurs when an insurer fails to settle a valid claim promptly and fairly β€” denying without reason, delaying unreasonably, or offering far less than the claim is worth. You can recover damages beyond the policy limits, but you must first serve a Civil Remedy Notice giving the insurer 60 days to cure.
My PIP claim was denied β€” what can I do?
PIP denials are common and challengeable. Insurers deny by disputing medical necessity, claiming you missed the 14-day deadline, or arguing you didn't have an "emergency medical condition." Under Florida Statute Β§ 627.736, you can challenge the denial, starting with a pre-suit demand letter that gives the insurer 30 days to pay. See our car accident page for more.
