Overcoming the Threshold
As Florida is a no-fault insurance state, accident victims must overcome certain legal and medical thresholds in order to be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit. As per Fla. Stat. Ann. section 627.737, here are those thresholds:
- A significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function.
- Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, other than scarring or disfigurement.
- Significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement.
- Death.
Don’t Give the Opposing Insurer a Statement
Opposing insurance companies will go to great lengths to place impediments in the way of meeting one or more thresholds. The Business Name. has the resources necessary to overcome those impediments. Don’t give the opposing insurer any type of a written or recorded statement. Florida law doesn’t require you to do that. You’ll probably devalue your own case by doing so.
