Florida Cabinet Approves PIP Benefit Rule Sought by Insurers

Florida officials have approved an emergency rule that will allow auto insurers providing no-fault coverage to use a form informing accident victims of their benefits under the state’s revised personal injury protection law. The Florida Cabinet approved the emergency rule that will detail for consumers a major provision of a PIP reform bill enacted earlier this year by state lawmakers. Under the provision, accident victims receive $10,000 in benefits for injuries requiring emergency care, but only $2,500 for non-emergency injuries.
