Florida PIP Benefits Information
If you have been injured in a car accident in Florida, there are numerous potential avenues of compensation. Your first line of defense in recovering compensation for medical benefits is your own car insurance policy's PIP coverage, or Personal Injury Protection.

Florida No-Fault and PIP Benefits Information
Florida requires that all vehicles registered in Florida carry minimum insurance coverage, which includes minimum PIP coverage. Because Florida is a no-fault insurance state, car accident victims turn to their own insurance policy's PIP coverage first when they are injured in a car accident, bicycle accident or pedestrian accident.
What do PIP benefits cover? Minimum PIP benefits cover:
- 80 percent of your medical bills
- 60 percent of your lost wages
- $5,000 for the death of a household family member
For most policies, the maximum payable coverage for any one accident is $10,000. Anything above the $10,000 PIP policy limit must be recovered from the at-fault driver. Or, if the at-fault driver's insurance policy is inadequate, you may file a claim against your own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy.
