Understanding Compensation in Florida Car Accidents

Car accidents can be a traumatic experience, leaving victims with physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial burdens. If you've been involved in a car accident in Florida, it's important to understand how compensation is calculated and who is responsible for paying it. At Roberts & Basnuevo, P.A., we assist the Miami-Dade County public with car accident matters, ensuring that victims receive the compensation they deserve.


In Florida, compensation for car accidents is typically calculated based on the concept of "comparative negligence." This means that each party involved in the accident is assigned a percentage of fault, and the amount of compensation awarded is adjusted accordingly. For example, if you were found to be 20% at fault for the accident, your compensation would be reduced by 20%. It's important to have an experienced attorney on your side to ensure that your percentage of fault is accurately determined.


In most cases, compensation for car accidents in Florida is paid out by the at-fault party's insurance company. Florida law requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance coverage to cover damages caused in an accident. However, insurance companies are notorious for trying to minimize payouts to victims in order to protect their bottom line. That's where our team at Roberts & Basnuevo, P.A. comes in - we will fight tirelessly on your behalf to ensure that you receive fair and just compensation for your injuries.


Calculating compensation for a car accident can be a complex process that takes into account various factors such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. Our skilled attorneys have years of experience navigating these complexities and will work diligently to build a strong case on your behalf. We will gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and represent you in court if necessary to secure the maximum compensation available under Florida law.
