Florida's 'Permanent Injury Rule'

Florida law requires you to prove a permanent injury as a result of the car accident in order to get a recovery for pain and suffering. You may also be able to get a recovery from the at-fault driver for unpaid medical bills and lost wages not covered by auto insurance.

Most settlement negotiations after a car accident center on the determination of what is and what is not a permanent injury. Unless you have sustained an obviously permanent injury, like a broken bone, spinal cord injury, a brain injury or permanent scarring, the insurance company is likely to argue that your injuries are not permanent and deny your claim against the at-fault driver. A car accident attorney may be able to help you overcome an inaccurate determination.
