Can I sue if I was Injured by a Canadian Car in a Florida Accident?

Yes. If you are involved in an accident in Florida and the person that caused the accident is from Canada and has Canadian car insurance, you can still sue the Canadian that caused the accident for your injuries. My law firm has offices in Florida and Canada, so we know how to advance claims against Canadian car insurance companies and get you the compensation you deserve for your injuries. 

Florida residents share their roads and cities with visitors from all over the world.  Especially during season, we see cars and motorcycles from all over the United States and Canada.  Given all of the visitors that come to Florida, it is not uncommon for Florida residents to be injured in accidents with vehicles from other states or even as far as Ontario or Quebec, Canada.  When a Florida resident is hit by a Canadian car, it can be confusing and stressful.   You may be wondering how your injuries and losses will be covered by a Canadian driver that will eventually leave the country and return to Canada.  Claims with Canadian vehicles can present more challenges such as locating the driver in another country, obtain insurance information and policy information disclosures, and service of process if a lawsuit is required.   Despite these challenges, our law firm has experience with car and motorcycle accidents involving Canadian drivers and vehicles.  Attorney Andrew Iacobelli has practiced both in Florida and in Ontario, Canada and so he knows how to deal with Canadian insurance companies to help maximize recovery for injury victims.   You can make a claim for your injuries and losses against the Canadian driver, and it will usually be handled by their Canadian insurance company. 

If you were injured in an accident with a Canadian vehicle or driver, do not delay.  It is important to secure important information as soon as possible to help your claim proceed smoothly.  Contact us day or night to request your Free Consultation.
