\nPays for damage you cause to someone else\u2019s property, like another vehicle or structure.<\/li>\n

The Most Common Auto Insurance Questions (And What You Should Know)<\/h2>\n
\n
\nFlorida has some of the highest auto insurance premiums in the country due to high accident rates and rising repair costs. On top of that, where you live matters – areas with more traffic congestion, higher crime rates, or greater claim activity tend to have higher premiums. Reviewing your policy, available discounts, and deductible structure can help reduce your costs.<\/li>\n
\nIf you carry Uninsured\/Underinsured Motorist coverage, you\u2019re protected. Without it, you may be responsible for your own medical and repair bills even if the other driver is never found.<\/li>\n
\nIf your car is financed or newer, these coverages are likely required. If it\u2019s older or paid off, they may be optional but you\u2019ll want to consider your ability to replace the car out-of-pocket after an accident.<\/li>\n
\nIt meets legal requirements, but often falls short in real-world situations. Higher limits offer better protection and often cost less than people expect.<\/li>\n
\nPIP pays for your medical expenses, lost wages, and some additional benefits after an accident. It covers you and your passengers, no matter who\u2019s at fault but it does have limits.<\/li>\n
