The Florida legislature has toughened the state’s child safety seat law making them required for all children ages 5 or under. Starting in January, kids who are 4 and under can no longer be restrained with just a seat belt. They’ll have to have a booster seat.
Another phrase that I hear often from clients is “this is a no fault state right so no one is at fault for the accident right?” It is correct that Florida is a quote unquote “no-fault state.” Florida’s legislature has enacted a no-fault law that classifies itself as such. I will first tell you that because Florida is a no-fault state it defiantly does not mean that no one is at fault in a car accident. I will agree that the name certainly implies such and I will even go as far as saying the name itself is misnomer.
One phrase that I hear often from clients is, “I’m good I have full coverage.” My response to this in the most non-condescending way is, well what is full coverage? It’s a very simple question. A question that the answer is implied to one knowing if they are claiming to have it correct? Take a moment to think about it yourself. What is full coverage insurance?
