No Fault Insurance - Personal Injury Protection


Florida - No FaultNo fault auto insurance coverage, also known as Personal Injury Protection or PIP, is coverage which applies to a driver, passengers and any pedestrians involved in an automobile accident. It pays up to the policy limits for medical expenses, loss of wages, and other related injuries regardless of who is at fault and even if there is negligence involved.

Personal Injury Protection was designed to cover medical and related losses as quickly and smoothly as possible. This coverage reduces the amount of lawsuits because lawsuits can usually only be filed if losses exceed the coverage provided by a PIP auto insurance policy.
