Is Florida a no-fault state?

Yes. Florida has been a no-fault state since 1972, according to the Insurance Information Institute. As a no-fault state, Florida requires drivers to carry PIP coverage so that their own insurance covers some or all of their medical expenses after a car accident, even if this other driver was at fault. No-fault car insurance also restricts the right to sue to only lawsuits that involve severe injuries.

Additional car insurance coverages to consider

If you're leasing or financing a vehicle, most lenders require you to carry comprehensive auto coverage and collision auto coverage in addition to Florida's state-required coverages. Comprehensive and collision pay to repair or replace your car, regardless of fault, if it's in an accident, gets stolen, or is otherwise damaged as the result of a covered accident. It also makes sense to add these physical damage coverages if you are not sure you could afford a new car or major repairs after an accident.
