Modified Comparative Fault (51% bar, effective 2023)
2 years from the date of the accident (effective 2023)
$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.
