Why Does My Own Insurance Company Pay My Medical Bills When the Other Driver Caused the Accident?

Florida has been a No Fault state for over thirty years. The whole basis for No Fault is that each car is required to carry $10,000 in No Fault insurance. That means it pays a total of up to $10,000 for each of the occupants of the car involved in the crash to cover their medical bills and lost wages. This is one of the most common questions our personal injury law firm is asked. It may seem confusing that your own car insurance company pays your medical bills when the other driver was clearly at fault in causing the accident.

I offer a more detailed explanation of how this all works in my free report “Understanding the Basics of Florida No Fault insurance.” Just fill out the form below and we’ll email it to you:

If you have questions that are an immediate concern and you would like to go over these with me, simply contact my legal assistant, Judi at 727-446-0840 to schedule a time to discuss what happened.
