Auto Insurance

Florida Auto Insurance Requirements & Minimums

Fault System: No-Fault (PIP Required)

FL Minimum Coverage Limits

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) $10,000
Property Damage Liability $10,000
Bodily Injury (per person) Not required*
Bodily Injury (per accident) Not required*

Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers your medical expenses regardless of who caused the accident — up to $10,000. Bodily injury liability is not required by law but is highly recommended.

Florida has the highest percentage of uninsured drivers among large states, with roughly 20% of motorists carrying no coverage. UM/UIM coverage is critical for Florida drivers.

Florida law does not require bodily injury (BI) liability, but if you cause an accident resulting in serious injury, you can be personally sued for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We strongly recommend at least 100/300 BI limits.

Our Recommendation

Florida drivers should carry at least 100/300/100 with stacked UM/UIM coverage. The state minimums leave dangerous coverage gaps — PIP alone covers only $10,000 in medical bills, which can be exhausted by a single ER visit.

Home Insurance

Florida Home Insurance: Hurricane & Wind Coverage

Florida homeowners insurance is among the most expensive in the nation, driven by hurricane exposure, litigation costs, and a volatile property insurance market. Average premiums exceed $4,000/year — more than double the national average.

Citizens Property Insurance, Florida's insurer of last resort, has grown to become the state's largest carrier as private insurers have exited the market. While Citizens provides essential coverage, private-market alternatives often offer better terms. Select Insurance Group compares Citizens quotes alongside 40+ private carriers to find the best combination of coverage and price.

Wind mitigation inspections can significantly reduce Florida homeowners premiums. Features like hip roofs, hurricane shutters, and secondary water resistance barriers qualify for mandatory credits under Florida law. We help homeowners understand which improvements deliver the greatest insurance savings.

Commercial Insurance

Florida Workers Compensation & Business Coverage

WC Requirement 4 or more employees (construction: 1 employee)
Non-Compliance Penalties

Operating without required workers compensation in Florida triggers a stop-work order. Penalties include $1,000/day for non-compliance plus liability for all employee injury costs.

Florida requires workers compensation for businesses with 4 or more employees — and just 1 employee for construction companies. Officers and LLC members may exempt themselves, but the coverage remains mandatory for the employee count threshold.

Florida's commercial insurance market is shaped by hurricane risk, high litigation rates, and a growing economy. General liability, commercial property, and inland marine policies require careful attention to wind exclusions and named-storm deductibles. Our commercial team structures policies that close these gaps.

FAQ

Florida Insurance Frequently Asked Questions

What are Florida's minimum auto insurance requirements?

Florida requires $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and $10,000 in Property Damage Liability. Florida does not require Bodily Injury liability, but we strongly recommend at least 100/300 BI limits to protect your assets in an at-fault accident.

Why is Florida home insurance so expensive?

Florida homeowners insurance costs are driven by hurricane exposure, high litigation rates (assignment of benefits abuse), and insurer insolvencies. Average premiums exceed $4,000/year. Working with an independent agent who shops 40+ carriers is the best way to find competitive rates without sacrificing coverage.

What is a wind mitigation inspection in Florida?

A wind mitigation inspection evaluates your home's resistance to hurricane damage.

The inspection typically costs $75-$150 and can save hundreds annually on premiums.

Does Florida require workers compensation insurance?

Yes. Florida requires workers compensation for businesses with 4 or more employees. Construction companies need coverage with just 1 employee. Operating without coverage can trigger a stop-work order and penalties of $1,000 per day.
