STATE GUIDE
Car Accidents in Florida: PIP, Documentation and Help.
Florida uses Personal Injury Protection (PIP) as a central part of its auto-insurance system. The Florida Department of Financial Services explains that PIP pays certain medical expenses regardless of fault and that initial care has a 14-day timing requirement for that coverage.
