An Inconvenient Necessity in Florida: Why is it Mandatory to Have Car Insurance?

Even the best drivers can be liable for things beyond their control out on the roads of Bay County, Florida. That’s why all drivers in Florida must protect fellow motorists by carrying liability auto insurance from Daffin Insurance Services. As a driver, even if you are a defensive driver, you might not be able to avoid every driving hazard or accident, but you can be the good guy and make sure you protect other drivers in case something should go wrong by maintaining proper liability insurance coverage. Also, having the right insurance will help you avoid fines as the state of Florida has a mandatory requirement for all registered auto, car, motorcycle, etc., drivers to carry liability insurance. It may seem like a pain to pay for auto insurance every month, but getting monetary penalties from the state of Florida transport department is most definitely worse!

    This coverage pays if you are injured by a person who is completely uninsured or doesn't have enough liability Insurance to cover your injuries. It also covers you if you are in an accident with a hit-and-run driver.
