Turn And Face The Strange: Upcoming Changes In Florida’s Pre-Judgment Interest Rules

Posted on
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the State of Colorado is one of the few states that allow for Pre-Judgment Interest in a negligence action if the victim recovers. Often, the majority of cases stemming from injuries due to car accidents or the negligence of others settle out of court due to the hard work of injury lawyers fighting with insurance companies for victims’ rights.

The first, and probably most important for auto accident injuries, before lawyers for car accidents even come into the picture, is whose fault is the accident? Luckily, regardless of whose fault it is, if you chose to keep Medpay coverage, your treatment related to the accident can be covered up to a specific dollar amount. Medpay is a special type of no-fault insurance, which means it’s available to you regardless of whose fault an accident is.

Lawyers for car accidents can sometimes find pathways to help injured people fund care while liability is…
