Three Primary Insurance Coverages:

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP), also called Florida no-fault, typically pays for the medical expenses of the individuals injured, including the driver and passengers of your vehicle, regardless of who is at fault. 

The State of Florida requires all drivers to carry a $10,000.00 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which covers up to 80% of injuries and 60% of lost wages, regardless of which party is at fault.  While the PIP law provides accident victims with funds to initially treat for their injuries, PIP coverage is rarely enough to provide funds for the total cost of medical bills and lost wages.  In addition, PIP does not provide compensation for the pain and suffering, property damages, and many other types of damages.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”appear”]

Bodily Injury Coverage

When a Tucker IP Accident Attorney seeks damages on your behalf, the claim is usually based on the bodily injury coverage that the negligent party has purchased. 

Many insurance companies suggest that drivers purchase enough coverage to cover the full value of a lawsuit, without jeopardizing that driver’s personal assets.  Unfortunately, many drivers are uninsured or underinsured. 

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”appear”]

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Accidents

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is a very important coverage because once you have exhausted your PIP coverage and the other driver does not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover your injuries, your uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance coverage will provide additional insurance coverage to compensate you for your injuries. 

The Firm strongly recommends purchasing uninsured/underinsured insurance coverage to protect yourself in the event that you are seriously injured by a driver without sufficient coverage.

Negligence

Every person always owes a duty to exercise the reasonable care that a reasonably careful person would use under like circumstances.  Negligence is doing something that a reasonably careful person would not do under like circumstances or failing to do something that a reasonably careful person would do under like circumstances.  Negligence is fact and circumstance specific.  Drivers have a duty of reasonable car in the operation of their vehicle, to enable him or her to avoid endangering or injuring other persons.  Moreover, ever driver is charged with the responsibility of having his or her vehicle under control at all times.

A Tucker IP accident lawyer will investigate the specific facts of your case to prove that the other party acted outside of the standard of care expected by others.  Accordingly, negligent party could include, for example, negligent drivers, reckless drivers, drunk drivers, passengers, bicyclists, dog owners, and pedestrians.

Manufacturer Liability

In some accidents, the manufacturer may be liable for a defect in the vehicle or one of vehicle’s parts.  There are a few theories of recovery for a manufacturer’s liability.  Regardless of the legal theory under which the Tucker IP accident attorney brings your lawsuit, the underlying injury must have been caused by the defect.  If the jury finds no defect, you cannot recover under the theory of manufacturer’s liability.  In order to succeed, a Tucker IP Accident Attorney must establish on behalf of the Plaintiff that:

• The manufacturer produced a product with a defect
• The defect existed at the time of the injury;
• The defect was unreasonably dangerous; and
• A link between the product’s condition and your injuries and damages.

Some manufacturer liability cases have been based on defective accelerators, airbags, brakes, engines, driver shaft, tires, and seatbelts.
