What a Car Accident Injury Claim Is and Who It Can Help<\/h2>\n

A car accident injury claim asks the at-fault driver to pay for losses caused by the crash. The claim goes through that driver’s liability insurer or a court.<\/p>\n

It is separate from your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. PIP is a different part of your auto insurance.<\/p>\n

Generally, the injured person brings the claim. That can include a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist. It depends on the facts.<\/p>\n

If a crash causes a death, the family may have a wrongful-death claim. Under Florida law, the personal representative brings the action. That person manages the estate of the person who died. They act for the surviving family members and the estate (Fla. Stat. \u00a7 768.20<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Some crashes cause spinal cord injuries, paralysis<\/a>, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, severe burns, or catastrophic back or neck injuries. These cases raise added questions. You can read more about catastrophic injury claims<\/a>.<\/p>\n
