It's not a requirement in the state of Florida. Unfortunately, we see cases all the time where a client comes in and the driver that caused the accident doesn't have bodily injury insurance. At the end of the day, the only way to protect yourself is to purchase something called uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. That's the only way you can ensure that you are protected in the event you get into a car accident. The state of Florida does require two different types of coverages. First is property damage coverage, and two, something called personal injury protection benefits or PIP benefits. They're also called no-fault benefits, and those benefits apply whether you cause the accident or not. The first thing you should do if you're in a motor vehicle accident is call 911. It's very important that law enforcement come to the scene, an investigation occurs, and that you obtain an accident report. Second thing you need to do is take photos at the scene of not only your vehicle, but the other party's vehicle. Third thing you need to do is make sure that whether you believe you're injured or not is to seek follow up medical care and get checked within 14 days of the accident, so that you secure personal injury protection benefits in the event you do have any problems. If you do not seek medical care within 14 days of the accident, you lose those benefits. When a client hires me to handle their auto accident case, they should be confident that they are getting an experienced lawyer that knows what he's doing. I've handled thousands of car accident cases in the past. Every case is unique. Every case has its own merits. More importantly, clients need to know that when they have me handle their case, I also understand the medicine. At the end of the day, the clients want to make sure that their bills are paid.
