What happens under no fault is that you carry PIP( personal injury protection) and make a claim to YOUR OWN insurance company if injured, the Florida maximum is $10,000. Beyond that you can sue for medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of income and whatever else the lawyers can dream up.
The money is paid through the insurance company. You do not sue a driver for his personal assets.
