Reader’s Question:

I was involved in a vehicular accident while driving in Florida. I was the at-fault party and I caused injuries to the other people involved. I know I am required to carry SR-22 Am I also required by law to pay for the damages I’ve caused to the involved party for me to be able to reinstate my license in Gainesville, Florida?

If a vehicular accident happened on the streets of Florida that resulted to bodily and property damages, your home state’s Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle (HSMV) will ask the owner or the operator of the car to provide proof of full liability insurance coverage at the time of the accident.

The requirement for the full liability car insurance coverage should include and meet the minimum requirements of: bodily injury liability policy ($10,000/ person and, $20,000/ crash and $10,000 property damage liability/crash,) and personal injury protection/pip ($10,000/ person/ crash)

If no proof of auto insurance is provided, then he or she will be asked to purchase and maintain SR-22 form for a period of 3 years. In addition to that, the at-fault party must also secure release from their victims, to prove that they were compensated for the damages they have incurred from the said accident.

So to answer your question, aside from keeping SR-22 form, yes you are also required to pay for the damages of the other party.

For more information on how you can reinstate your license in Gainesville, Florida, you may check with the Florida HSMV.
