I was seriously injured in a West Palm Beach car accident that was caused by a driver who was speeding. I have no car insurance. Can I still claim compensation for my car crash injuries?

A: In Florida, all drivers are required to have at least $10,000 personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 property damage liability (PDL). Drivers who do not meet this requirement may have their license suspended until they purchase the minimum amount of auto insurance and pay a fee. Despite the state requirement, an estimated 25 to 33 percent of Florida drivers have no insurance. If you are an uninsured driver and have been injured in a Florida motor vehicle accident, you may still be eligible for insurance compensation for your injuries as long as you were not at fault for the accident and you sustained significant injuries.

Every accident is different. If you have been injured in a West Palm Beach car crash, the best way to determine if you are eligible for insurance compensation for your medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, and lost wages is to discuss your accident with a West Palm Beach accident injury attorney.
