Florida’s 51% Fault Rule: Get $0 If Mostly At Fault

Описание: Florida’s modified comparative negligence law means that in many Florida car accident cases, you can get nothing if you’re more than 50% at fault for the crash. Tampa personal injury lawyer Armando Edmiston at Armando Personal Injury Law breaks down how this “51% fault rule” works and why it can wipe out your injury claim.

In this Short, you’ll learn:
• What it means that Florida is now a modified comparative negligence state
• How fault is divided between drivers after a car accident in Florida
• Why being more at fault than the other driver can mean you recover $0 in many cases
• Why Armando warns that you can’t just assume “I was hurt, so I’ll get something” under this new system

Key Moments
• Armando says Florida is now a “modified contributory/modified comparative” state and that you may get nothing if you’re more at fault than the other driver.
• Law Change: Briefly explains that Florida’s fault law has changed from the old system and now uses a modified comparative negligence rule.
• 51% Rule: Clarifies that if you’re more than 50% responsible for the crash, you may be completely barred from recovering money in many cases.
• Impact on Victims: Emphasizes how this affects injured people who assume they’ll still get paid something just because they’re hurt.
