Under the P.I.P (aka no fault) law you would be eligible for lost wages and medical expenses regardless of fault.

Under the bodily injury policy of the other driver (if they have such policy) you would be eligible for a much greater amount of money if you have been injured and those injuries are found to be permanent.

My office is here in South Florida and I would be more than happy to speak with you further (at no charge of course) and help you explore your options.

Feel free to give me a ring,

Regarding the property damage, all the insuance company and or the tortfeasor has to do is pay the market value of your car. If you have do not have any more damages, that is all you get. See www.FloridaPersonalInjuryTrialLawyer.com
