Post: Florida no-fault property

Posted by T, Dahl on 12/07/06

Car was totalled in a two car collision in Florida.
Driver of the car 1 was driving with permission of NY
owner and was clearly, by his own admission, at fault.
Neither the driver of the other vehicle nor the driver
were damaged or hurt (the vehicle was a cement truck). Do
no fault laws preclude owner of car 1 from a cause of
action against the driver to collect damages to destroyed
car 1. NY Owner does not carry collision on the car
because of its low value (about $3500), and thus the
owner's insurance carrier is out of the picture. Driver
of car 1 says he is immune from suit because of Florida no
fault. What result?
