Differences Between Auto and Motorcycle Insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance laws are necessary for all drivers of cars in Florida. However, these laws don’t apply to motorcycles. Certain insurance providers offer this type of insurance in a form that is similar to auto insurance coverage. Since it’s not required for motorcycles in Florida, it isn’t regulated by state law. This means that an individual won’t have to show they have a permanent injury in order to get compensation for pain and suffering if a motorcycle is involved.

Minimum Requirements for Motorcycle Insurance in Florida

In Florida, the minimum motorcycle insurance is as follows.

• $10,000 bodily injury liability for one person
• $10,000 property damage liability for each crash
• $20,000 bodily injury liability for two or more individuals

You also might want to purchase uninsured motorist coverage, as well as other types of insurance. This will cover pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical bills if you get injured from a crash. It’s beneficial when you are injured and the other driver doesn’t have bodily injury insurance or if it isn’t enough to cover expenses. Consider stacking it with the insurance coverage you have on other vehicles if it’s a possibility with your provider.
