When you've been injured in a car accident in Florida, you will likely need medical attention immediately, which can come with a high price tag. 

So, you may be wondering, who will be responsible for paying the bills when they arrive? 

Since Florida is a no-fault state, your own car insurance will be your first stop when it comes to reimbursement and/or coverage. 

But, whether you were at fault or not will also make a difference down the road. 

However, you still have the main responsibility of paying your medical bills, but you may get reimbursed down the road.

No matter what, the first step should be to inform your insurance company that you have been in an accident. 

This includes both your health insurance and your car insurance. 

The car insurance, in particular, will investigate the accident to determine who was at fault, and to what degree.

If you live in Florida, a no-fault state, you hopefully have the required personal injury coverage (PIP). 

This means that you're covered, no matter who was at fault, up to the limit you paid for. 

So, if you get injured in an accident, you must file your claim with your own insurance company, and they will pay your medical expenses, up to the limits of your coverage.

But what happens if your coverage runs out? 

That's where you need legal assistance. 

You might win a judgment against the other party, and they may end up paying you a lump sum. 

This is meant to compensate you for your medical expenses. 

Hopefully, the other party has insurance coverage. 

However, if they don't, you may have a problem. 

Winning a judgment against them won't help you if they don't have the money to pay.

No matter what, you should talk to a qualified lawyer about your situation as soon as possible. 

Florida law is quite complicated when it comes to compensating people who have been injured in accidents. 

Your lawyer can determine what your options are and help you with your next steps.

Most lawyers will help you on a contingency basis. 

This means that you don't have to pay them unless and until they collect for you.

If you have been injured in an accident, don't waste precious time worrying about who will pay the bills.
