The types of insurance coverage that you are required to have in Florida are in many instances insufficient to protect you in the unfortunate event of an automobile accident. In my practice, I have had many clients that have been hurt in an accident tell me, “I have full coverage.” In reality, there is no such thing as “full coverage.” Many people mistakenly believe that by having the minimum coverages required by law, they are “fully covered.” Not so.

We often receive calls from auto accident victims who fear seeking medical treatment because they do not have health insurance. Even car accidents with minimal damage can result in life-altering injuries. A rear-end collision with only minor rear bumper damage can cause severe pain that plagues the accident victim’s days and nights. Medical treatment for such injuries is not a luxury reserved only for those with health insurance; it is a necessity for all auto accident injury victims to best rehabilitate them to his or her pre-accident condition.
First and foremost, you should never get behind the wheel of an automobile while under the influence of alcohol or a chemical substance. With services like Uber and Lyft, there is no reason to risk your safety and the safety of others. That said, many drivers, after having wine or a cocktail with dinner, may not believe that they are at all impaired and will assume they are fine to drive.
