Know Florida No-Fault Insurance Laws and PIP Insurance

In Florida, the no-fault auto insurance law requires a driver to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage as part of their auto insurance.

In Florida, the no-fault auto insurance law has been in place since 1972. This law requires a driver to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage as part of their auto insurance. The PIP coverage covers the insured person’s bills irrespective of the party at fault in an accident. This means that your insurance coverage pays the medical bills and other financial losses up to the policy limits in case of an accident.

In Florida, all motorists must purchase a minimum of $10,000 PIP coverage. The primary purpose of PIP insurance is to cover the insured’s medical expenses. However, it also provides coverage for other non-medical expenses.
