Considering the dense population in South Florida, it is not surprising that more than one-third of all motor vehicle accidents occur in the counties of Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Broward. The<\/span>\u00a0Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(FLHSMV) reports there were more than 123,000 crashes in the region in 2022, and the figures for 2023 are on track to reach this total by the end of the year. Of these collisions, around 43,250 are injury-causing, leading to bodily harm for almost 64,600 victims. Based on the data, you can guess that many of the people who are hurt in Miami car accidents are passengers in the involved vehicle.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Passengers do have rights under Florida law, but the legal process can be more complex when it comes to insurance questions. This is because of the state\u2019s no-fault insurance law, which requires all motorists to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP). A<\/span>\u00a0Miami car accident lawyer<\/span><\/a>\u00a0can explain your remedies, but a summary is useful.<\/span><\/p>\n

You must go through your own PIP.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>If you own a vehicle and follow the law by purchasing the required auto insurance policy, you are covered as a passenger in someone else\u2019s car. In fact, you must file a claim with your own insurer in such a situation. Through PIP, you can recover up to 80 percent of all reasonable medical costs and expenses related to the accident. If you miss work because of your injuries, PIP will pay up to 60 percent of lost wages.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
