FAQ
When You Can Sue in a No-Fault State? In Florida, a no-fault insurance system means each driver's own insurance covers their car damage and medical expenses, regardless of who caused the accident. However, this does not mean you can never sue the other driver.
Does no-fault insurance cover car damage? Although your no-fault insurance covers economic losses, damage to your vehicle would be covered by either your collision insurance or the other driver's liability policy – not by no-fault insurance.
Getting in an accident with an uninsured driver in Florida when they're at fault adds another level of stress and frustration. What happens if someone hits you without insurance in Florida? In most cases, your insurance will cover an accident with an uninsured motorist in Florida.
To do so, you would have to file a lawsuit in Small Claims Court against the uninsured individual. Be aware, for civil cases, there are Statute of Limitations – a set number of years wherein you must either settle your claim or file a lawsuit. The Statute of Limitations can vary 1-6 years dependent on your state.
You can exchange information (name, address, registration, liability insurer and driver's license) with the other party and complete a Driver's Crash Report (CR2). This report is available at .
Otherwise, you can complete a “Driver Report of Traffic Crash (Self Report)” or “Driver Exchange of Information” on line, or download the form at and submit it to the address on the form.

As of March 24, 2023, Florida's statute of limitations for negligence claims, including those arising from car accidents, has been reduced from four years to two years. This legislative change mandates that victims of car accidents must file their negligence claims within two years of the incident.
Like every other state, the time to file a car accident claim is limited. Florida's statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit due to negligence is two years from when the accident occurred. Whether you were involved in a rear-end collision, T-bone (side-impact), or head-on collision.
