The COVID-19 crisis has changed our world in unprecedented ways. The Personal Insurance Federation of Florida and its members are committed to providing helpful and factual information for Floridians navigating the challenges as we all work through this together, while apart. As always, we encourage customers to reach out to their insurance companies directly to ask questions and discuss solutions.
