The Florida law that mandates owners and operators of motor vehicles to be financially responsible for damages or injuries caused in a crash is known as the Florida Financial Responsibility Law. Specifically, it requires drivers to maintain a minimum level of insurance coverage, including Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Property Damage Liability (PDL), ensuring that they can cover costs resulting from accidents. This law aims to protect both the drivers and other parties involved in motor vehicle incidents.
