The Florida 14-Day PIP Rule Explained
The 14 Day PIP Rule requires injured victims to seek medical care within 14 days of their traffic accident to file a claim. This rule exists to ensure that injury claims are valid, as well as any existing injuries from a car accident aren’t exacerbated by not getting medical care quickly. Failure to receive medical care within the first 14 days can seriously impact your claim and may cause you to lose your right to receive compensation entirely.
When should you hire a car accident lawyer?
Qualified car accident lawyers have dealt with hundreds of auto accident cases and know how to get insurance companies to pay what you’re rightfully owed. Insurance companies are not on your side; when you hire an experienced car accident attorney they’ll fight to get you the biggest compensation possible. Typically PIP claims are capped up to $10,000, but if your injuries are serious enough, your lawyer can pursue further legal action for your injuries.
Five reasons to hire a lawyer for a PIP claim
- You can receive increased compensation for your injury.
- No fees unless you win your case.
- A legal mistake you make can affect your entitled compensation.
- You can focus on healing and getting better, while the attorneys focus on getting you the payout you deserve.
- You’re not fighting the other driver; you’ll be dealing with the insurance company, which can be complicated and time-consuming.
