Car insurance rules in Florida

Florida requires drivers to carry at least $10,000 of property damage liability. It also requires personal injury protection ($10,000). Florida is a no-fault state: your own personal injury protection (PIP) pays your medical bills after a crash, whoever caused it.

These are legal minimums, not a recommendation: a serious crash can cost far more, and anything above your limits is yours to pay.
