State Law

Florida Car Accident Law: What You Need to Know

Key legal rules that affect how Florida car accident claims are valued and resolved.

Fault System

Modified Comparative Fault (51% bar, effective 2023)

Statute of Limitations

2 years from the date of the accident (effective 2023)

Minimum Liability

$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident / $10,000 property damage

Florida transitioned from a no-fault to an at-fault system in 2024. The state now uses modified comparative fault—if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages.

The statute of limitations was reduced from 4 years to 2 years in 2023 under tort reform legislation.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage is no longer required for new policies, but existing policies may still include it during the transition period.
