Yes, when you are injured by another, including a Canadian driver, here in Florida, our laws generally provide that you may have a claim to be compensated for your injuries. Clearly, you can sue a Canadian here in Florida for an accident caused here in Florida. Interestingly, Canadian vehicles tend to have larger indemnity insurance policies. Indemnity insurance basically means that the Canadian insurance will indemnify (or pay for) any judgment for injuries caused by that Canadian driver, including claims for injuries here in the United States and Florida. The difficulty is that depending upon where the Canadian is from, some of the insurance companies speak primarily French or if they speak English, it is a bit more difficult to navigate through. My law firm has handled numerous cases against Canadian insurance companies and would be glad to offer you a free consultation for any accidents that happen here in Florida.
