The personal injury protection policy (PIP) of at least $10,000 that you needed to purchase to register your car in Florida will provide a death benefit of up to $5,000 for the survivors of an individual named on the policy, or riding as a policy-named person’s passenger, regardless of who was at fault for the accident. This is often the simplest option for obtaining compensation, as you file the claim with your own insurance company and do not need to prove liability. However, you may also pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim in addition to or instead of seeking the death benefit from your PIP.
