Florida drivers pay among the nation’s highest insurance premiums for relatively low coverage amounts, a state Senate panel heard Tuesday as discussion begins on whether to end the state’s no-fault system after four decades.
“Florida has the fifth highest auto premiums in the country despite its mandatory limits being relatively low,” said Ron Jackson, vice president for state affairs for the American Insurance Association. “Unfortunately a no-fault system has not achieved the goals set for it,” either on reducing lawsuits or lowering consumer rates, he said.
