Florida’s Motor Vehicle No Fault Law
The Legislature enacted significant no-fault reforms in 2001 and 2003; however, according to many stakeholders, these reforms have not gone far enough in resolving the problems within the no-fault system which include fraud, abuse, inappropriate medical treatment, inflated claims, inadequate compensation to:
1. Reenact the no fault law, provided that additional reforms are enacted to control costs, most importantly, a medical fee schedule as listed below. 2. Adopt a medical fee schedule for PIP set at a specified percentage above the Medicare fee schedule 3. Eliminate or limit the contingency risk multiplier for attorney fee awards in PIP cases.
Additional recommendations relating to fraud, health care clinics, and other PIP wherein the Court opined that the no-fault law was intended to: • assure that persons injured in vehicular accidents would be directly compensated by their own insurer, even if the injured party was at fault. • lessen court congestion and delays in court calendars by limiting the number of law suits. • end the inequities of recovery under the traditional tort system. • lower automobile insurance premiums
