Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

First, you should check to see if your insurance or her insurance covers the damage. If the accident was her fault, her insurance company should pay and should handle all of these issues for you. Florida law requires her to have $10,000 in property damage insurance. If she did not have insurance, she was in violation of law and is not in much of a position to negotiate with you. Putting that issue aside, you have a duty to have the vehicle fixed for a reasonable price, but that doesn't mean you have to go to great lengths to allow the at-fault person to have a family member fix the vehicle.

You can sue in Small Claims Court in Miami. Bring your estimate and photos to court.

You dont have to do what you dont want to do, however, you may also not get a resolution of the issue easily. This is all being paid without involving insurance? Not the best way to do the deal. You should be careful of what you agree to. I would not use the at fault person's relative unless you are satisfied with that person's competence and abilities.
