How Does Auto Insurance Work in Florida?

Florida is a no-fault state. This means that you must first tap into your personal injury protection (PIP) insurance after a traffic accident to cover your medical expenses, regardless of who was at fault. PIP covers:

  • 80% of reasonable medical expenses for covered accident injuries
  • 60% of wages you lost as a result of the accident
  • Death benefits

If your PIP isn’t enough to cover your losses, you may have to file a claim against the other driver’s insurance or initiate a personal injury lawsuit.

  • Investigating the accident
  • Preparing and filing your insurance accident claim
  • Proving your damages
  • Negotiating with the insurance company
  • If necessary, filing a personal injury lawsuit and representing you in court
