Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Polk County a high-risk area for traffic accidents?

Polk County straddles the I-4 corridor between Tampa and Orlando, which has been identified as the deadliest interstate per mile in the U.S. Combined with high-speed roads like US-27 and heavy truck traffic, the county produces a substantial number of serious personal injury cases each year.

How do pharmacy liens work in Polk County after PIP exhausts?

Once Florida's $10,000 PIP benefit (Fla. Stat. §627.736) runs out, typically within 30-45 days, LienScripts provides Polk County PI patients with continued pharmacy access at $0 upfront cost. The medication costs are recovered from the case settlement through a transparent pharmacy lien.

Does the two-year statute of limitations apply to Polk County cases?

Yes. HB 837 (2023) shortened Florida's negligence statute of limitations to two years. Polk County PI patients should retain an attorney early and enroll in LienScripts promptly to avoid gaps in medication coverage during the compressed legal timeline.

How does comparative fault work for Polk County PI patients?

Florida follows pure comparative fault (Fla. Stat. §768.81), reducing recovery by the plaintiff's percentage of fault. Even partially at-fault Polk County drivers can still recover damages. LienScripts pharmacy liens are resolved proportionally within the settlement distribution.

What is a MERIT report and how does it help Polk County attorneys?

A MERIT (Medication Evaluation & Rationale for Injury Treatment) report is a pharmacist-signed clinical document summarizing all medications dispensed during a PI case. Polk County attorneys include MERIT reports in demand packages to support pharmaceutical damage claims.
