What does Florida car insurance actually do for me?
Florida roads can sometimes be dangerous, and accidents are pretty common. If you find yourself in the middle of a major collision, here’s a look at how your car insurance can help:
- Fix Your Car – Not required. We officially call this “comprehensive & collision coverage” and though it is not required by the state, it may be required by your lender.
- Fix Someone Else’s Car – Required/Min. $10,000. We officially call this “Property Damage Liability.”
- Pay Your Medical Bills – Required/Min. $10,000. We officially call this “Personal Injury Protection” Or “Pip.”
- Pay Someone Else’s Medical Bills – Required/Min. $20,000. We officially call this “Bodily Injury Liability.
Florida state law requires all drivers to have at least a certain amount of insurance coverage. This is meant to be a protection in case you get into an accident. If you cause the collision, insurance steps in to pay for damage to someone else’s vehicle and medical bills.
Who pays if the accident wasn’t my fault?
No need to worry. The driver who caused the accident is responsible for paying for the damages. However, if the at-fault driver is not insured and cannot pay, you may be on the hook unless you carry uninsured motorist coverage.
How many Florida drivers are uninsured?
Even though Florida law says all drivers must be insured, it’s not foolproof. Sometimes people drive without any insurance. Because of this, you could still face a serious risk if you get into an accident. That’s why “Uninsured Motorist Coverage” is so important. In Florida, nearly one-fourth of drivers are uninsured, so you face a high risk for getting into an accident with an uninsured driver at fault. If you have uninsured motorist coverage, the policy will pay to fix your car and pay for your medical bills.
