do you still have questions?

How do I recover my costs if I am injured by an uninsured motorist?

There are two possible situations where insurance may be inadequate to cover your damages from a vehicle accident:

Your No-fault Insurance Coverage: If you are injured and have the Florida legal minimum coverage, your insurance company will only pay 80% of your actual medical costs and 60% of your lost earnings. These amounts are payable up to policy dollar limits, regardless of who caused the accident, but depending on your policy the total payment may be insufficient.
The Other Driver was Uninsured: The other driver caused the accident, but was uninsured and there is no policy to pay the additional, uncovered amounts of your damages.

If the other driver caused the accident and was uninsured, then you may be paid the additional amount of damages from your own insurance company, but only if you purchased uninsured motorist benefits with your own policy. However, not everyone elects this voluntary coverage. In some cases, even if you have uninsured motorist coverage, your insurer may attempt to deny full payment.

Pursuing civil damages against the uninsured motorist may be an option

Driving without insurance in Florida is illegal, and there are serious repercussions for the driver, including criminal charges and drivers license suspension. However, this does little to offset your costs and damages, so our accident attorneys are committed to filing a personal injury suit on your behalf as a last resort to recovery. If the uninsured motorist caused the accident, then failure to have adequate coverage is a clear breach of their duty to other drivers on the highway. We file a civil case and attempt to obtain a judgment to access the driver’s assets and wages to fulfill your right to full compensation.

Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.

“I am so thankful for EVERYONE, the entire staff at Osborne & Francis Law, for mentoring me through the mediation process with my hip replacement failures. I didn't realize how MUCH pressure they relieved me of by helping me deal with the reality of this traumatic time in my life, as it was OVER so quickly with a positive result. My family is grateful to have their mom HAPPY & FOCUSED on the future, rather than worrying over what happened in the past! FAST FORWARD, we are LIVING LIFE to the fullest once again!”

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”

J. Davis

“I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer/ firm — everything was done professionally exactly how I wanted. Due to COVID my personal attorney Mr. Garcia was still able to make things work in a timely manner and he never made me feel like he wasn’t working. Overall I’m happy with how my case turned out and I would recommend him and this law firm to anyone. 100% satisfied.”
