Almost every state requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of mandatory liability car insurance. This insurance is meant to help protect the occupants of your vehicle and the other person or party who is injured in any accident that you cause. However, some people drive illegally without insurance, and if they cause an accident, the other person may be left to suffer their injuries alone.
If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident caused by a driver with insufficient liability insurance, you may be able to take legal action against them in order to cover the costs of your injuries and other losses.

Florida Insurance Requirements
In the state of Florida, all drivers are required to carry an insurance plan that offers at least the following amount of coverage:
- $10,000 of personal injury protection
- $10,000 of property damage liability
Personal injury protection offers coverage to you, members of your household, and certain other passengers in the event of an accident, whether you caused an accident or not. A person who is riding in your vehicle during an accident who has their own personal injury protection insurance will be covered by their own policy.
