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.
How much is car insurance in Florida?

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.
