Will My Personal Auto Insurance Pay If I Was Injured in a Car Accident as a Passenger?

If you have been injured as a passenger in an auto accident in Florida, the first thing you want to do is talk to a Florida injury lawyer. The laws pertaining to personal injury protection in Florida can be confusing.

If you’re injured in Florida as a passenger in someone else’s vehicle, but you have personal auto insurance coverage for your own car, then your own PIP insurance will cover the cost of your personal injuries. You did not have to be driving or in your own car at the time of the accident for your PIP to cover the costs of your injuries and losses. If you do not have your own vehicle or someone in your household does not have their own vehicle, then PIP coverage would not apply, and you would likely seek compensation from the insurance company of the driver of the vehicle. Things can get quite complicated and stressful if you do not understand Florida law and your legal rights. Since Florida is a no-fault state, the specific details of your accidents, such as liability and fault, play huge roles in the amount and types of compensation you may be entitled to.

Who is Robert Gluck
Robert Gluck graduated from the University of Miami Law School (cum laude) in 1989. He has been a practicing trial lawyer for over 32 years. Robert Gluck’s career started as an Assistant State Attorney, working for Janet Reno in the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office. While working as an Assistant State Attorney, he gained a great deal of experience in the courtroom, being involved in over 47 jury trials during that time. From 1991 until 1997 he spent time working as an attorney in two large law firms, handling Florida Personal Injury Claims, through settlement or Jury Trial, as well as handling many other types of cases including Criminal Defense Cases.

In 1998, he went into private practice and opened his own law office in the Fort Lauderdale / Plantation Florida area. A few years later, he opened his second office in Naples, to better serve his growing list of West Coast clients.

Words from Robert Gluck
“I saw how frustrating it was for clients who tried to establish a relationship with a Florida attorney in a multi-lawyer law firm, frequently dealing with different attorneys each time they visited. This made it difficult to maintain accurate records of what was happening in each Florida Personal Injury case, and the attorneys were not reachable for their clients.

This led to my decision to be the only attorney in my office while relying on an incredible support staff. This eliminates the problem of not knowing what is going on with each case; I know them all personally. Over the past twenty-eight years, I have gotten to know my clients personally as well. All clients have access to my cell phone number, and I am available for meetings at their convenience.”
