What does “No-Fault” Mean for residents of St. Petersburg, FL
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.
