Auto Insurance in Florida can feel like a maze — with unique laws, high premiums and recent legislative changes. Whether you are a long-time resident or new to the state, understanding your coverage options and responsibilities is key to staying protected on the road. Massey, Clark, Fischer is here to guide you through the complexities of Florida auto insurance and find the right balance between price and protection.

Florida’s Unique Auto Insurance Landscape 
Florida is currently a “no-fault” insurance state. This means that regardless of who caused the crash, each driver’s insurance covers their own injuries. But this might soon change. Florida’s legislature has advanced bills to repeal the no-fault system. If these changes take effect, the current requirement for $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) will be eliminated. Some estimates suggest that this could lead to as much as a 13.3% increase in premiums! All of this might be confusing, so schedule a call with one of our knowledgeable insurance advisors to learn more about reviewing and revising your current coverage.

Florida’s Reputation for Having High Premiums Is Changing
Florida consistently ranks among the top states for highest auto insurance rates, but this too is changing. Significant reductions in auto insurance rates in Florida for companies like GEICO (10.5% decrease), State Farm (6% decrease) and Progressive (8.1% decrease) have gone into effect recently. This, coupled with significant tort reform laws such as the banning of assignment of benefits for auto glass repairs, and increased competition in the industry, have led to the stabilization of the insurance market statewide.
