Frequently Asked Questions
How do pharmacy liens work for Alachua County accident victims?
After an accident in Alachua County, Florida's $10,000 PIP benefit (Fla. Stat. §627.736) covers initial medical costs but typically exhausts within 30-45 days. LienScripts provides continued pharmacy access at $0 upfront cost through a pharmacy lien on the case, with costs recovered at settlement.
Are UF students injured in Gainesville eligible for LienScripts?
Yes. Any person with an active PI case and a Florida attorney can enroll, including students. Gainesville's university area sees frequent pedestrian, bicycle, and scooter accidents, and LienScripts serves these patients through our 70,000+ pharmacy network.
What is the statute of limitations for PI claims in Alachua County?
HB 837 (2023) shortened Florida's negligence statute of limitations to two years from the date of injury. Alachua County PI patients should retain an attorney and enroll in LienScripts promptly to preserve their claims and ensure continuous medication access.
How does comparative fault apply to Alachua County PI cases?
Florida follows pure comparative fault (Fla. Stat. §768.81), reducing your recovery by your percentage of fault without barring it entirely. LienScripts pharmacy liens are resolved as part of the settlement distribution, so patients receive medication access regardless of initial fault determinations.
Does LienScripts coordinate with UF Health Shands for PI cases?
LienScripts works with patients treated at any Alachua County facility, including UF Health Shands Hospital and North Florida Regional Medical Center. Once enrolled, patients fill prescriptions at any pharmacy in our nationwide network at $0 upfront cost.
