Understanding Florida’s No-Fault Insurance System
Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, requiring drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. This means your own insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. However, PIP coverage may be insufficient for severe injuries, allowing you to pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit
Dealing with Insurance Companies After an Accident
Insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts. It’s essential to approach interactions with caution.
Avoid Admitting Fault
Even casual remarks can be used against you. Stick to the facts when discussing the accident.
Be Cautious with Recorded Statements
You are not obligated to provide recorded statements without legal counsel.
Consult Your KFB Law Attorney
Before accepting any settlement offers, our attorney will review them to ensure they cover all your damages.
Common Tampa Car Accidents We Can Help You With
You’re not alone — many of our clients had the same concerns before reaching out. At KFB Law, we listen, we understand, and we find solutions tailored to your situation.
Rear End Collisions
Rear end collisions tend to be the most common, can cause severe injuries at low speeds, and are where people often experience “whiplash.”
Parking Lot Accidents
Parking lot accidents, such as backing in and out of parking lots, lanes with vehicles moving in multiple directions, and pedestrians everywhere, are the perfect storm for a collision.
Head-On Collisions
Head-on collisions are probably the scariest accident you could face with catastrophic injuries. These collisions can come from negligence, distracted driving, drunkenness, or other kinds of impairment.
DUI Accidents
DUI accidents are serious crimes with life-threatening consequences. We pursue all reasonable means of obtaining payment on behalf of our clients when punitive damages are allowed.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run accidents occur when someone flees a crime scene after causing damage and injury; we will help gather information from you to identify the perpetrator in cooperation with law enforcement.
Rideshare Accidents
Using a ridesharing app doesn’t always guarantee you’ll be with a conscientious driver or that they’ll have the required insurance. This is where we come in to help protect you against Uber car accidents, self-driving cars, and other related negligence.

What about medical bills?

Common Bicycle Accident Injuries
Bicycle accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, some of which can be severe and life-altering. It is critical that those involved in an accident received immediate medical care. Here are some of the most frequent injuries sustained in bicycle accidents:

– Ribs: Rib fractures can be painful and may puncture internal organs, requiring immediate medical attention.

The Long-Term Impact of Bicycle Accidents
Beyond the immediate physical injuries, bicycle accidents can have long-term effects on your life, including chronic pain, disability, and emotional trauma. At KFB Law, we understand that recovering from an accident involves more than just physical healing. We advocate for compensation that also accounts for future medical needs, rehabilitation, and the emotional toll of the accident.
How much compensation am I entitled to?
The damages you could receive depend on the specifics of your case. Let’s look at the factors that determine compensation:
1
Medical bills
If your insurance isn’t enough to cover present or future medical expenses, you may receive monetary damages to cover the cost.
2
Lost earnings
If you can’t work now or in the future, you could receive money to make up for lost wages.
3
Property damage
It may seem like a minor detail, but if your bicycle was broken in the accident, you could receive compensation – especially if your bike was your only means of transportation.
4
Emotional suffering
This is difficult to quantify, but you could receive a payout based on the emotional and mental anguish you experience as a result of the accident.

Florida’s Comparative Negligence Law
In Florida, bicycle accident cases are subject to comparative fault laws, which means that if you are found partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced. However, even if you were partly responsible, you could still recover damages. Our attorneys will work to minimize any claims of contributory negligence to maximize your compensation.
Our Result-Driven Process
We handle all the legal heavy lifting—so you can focus on recovery, while we focus on results.
