In this video, we will guide you through the auto insurance requirements for drivers in Florida. Knowing the types of coverage available is crucial in the event of an auto accident, so let's dive right in.
One essential type of coverage in Florida is Personal Injury Protection (PIP). It is mandatory for all drivers to carry a minimum of $10,000 in PIP coverage. PIP provides coverage for medical expenses resulting from an auto accident, regardless of fault. This coverage includes surgical procedures, hospital stays, ambulance services, diagnostic tests, and medical examinations. However, it is important to note that PIP does not cover property damage.
If you are a Florida driver, you may have come across the term "14-day rule." According to this rule, drivers in Florida have 14 days following an accident to seek medical attention and file a PIP claim to access the $10,000 PIP benefits. Failing to seek medical treatment within this timeframe will result in the forfeiture of these benefits.
Before we discuss property damage coverage, it's essential to understand that Florida's auto insurance requirements, under the no-fault rules, differ significantly from neighboring states. For instance, in Georgia and South Carolina, drivers are obligated to carry bodily injury coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. Additionally, drivers in these states are not required to have PIP insurance. Therefore, the location of your accident can influence the types of coverage available to you.
Moving on, the next mandatory coverage for drivers in Florida is Property Damage Liability (PDL) coverage. Every driver must carry a minimum of $10,000 in PDL coverage. PDL insurance covers the cost of damage inflicted upon another vehicle in an accident. Put simply, this coverage is not intended to pay for the damage to your own vehicle, but rather covers the damage sustained by the other vehicle involved.
