Basic Insurance Requirements

If your motor vehicle is registered in Florida, you must carry a minimum of

* $10,000 of personal injury protection (PIP) and
* $10,000 of property damage liability (PDL).

Note: The DHSMV will suspend your driver license, vehicle tag and registration if your insurance company cancels your
PIP and PDL coverage and you fail to obtain new coverage.
You must then provide proof of insurance and pay a reinstatement fee to get your license, tag and registration reinstated.

 

Why do people post incorrect information?

 

Not even that is required. You do not have to insurance what so ever here.

 

I'll let the resident law man ffingers answer more accurately, but I "think" that still depends on whether it was private or public property .. e.g. was the parking lot a public university parking lot or some such or a private lot. Either way it's also going to depend if the other driver is in the same boat or not because if s/he's not insured either, I believe you're SOL. Looking forward to more informed answers though.

 

Who is posting incorrect info?

Oh. Just saw it. The FL post.

 

Wrong, straight from the Washington state website.

Washington law requires insurance ID cards to include the following information:

* Insured driver's name

* Insurance company name

* Policy number

* Effective and expiration dates

* Description of the insured vehicle, including year, make, and model

Any vehicle that is registered in Washington must be insured for at least the following amounts of liability:

* $25,000 for bodily injury or death per person per accident

* $50,000 for bodily injury or death for two or more people per accident

* $10,000 for damage to the property of others per accident

Every single state requires liability at the very least, without fail. Again, why do people post incorrect information?

 

WRONG! I live in the State. When driving a "motorcycle" you do not have to have insurance of any kind. Now a car is a different story. With a car you have to haveliability at least.

 

insurance is not required on motorcycles in WA if its paid off so i am legal(plus the bike was parked), i just dont have an insurance company to do the dirty work for me as far as going after the guy for the damages to the bike. the witness who wrote the note did leave his name and number which is good but i still dont know how to go about getting ahold of this hit and runguy(i have is plate number and know its a 2008 merc. grand marquie).... but if and when i do, do i ask for his insurance informationor threat with small claims court?

 

Washington does not require insurance for motorcycles directly, but riders do have minimum insurance requirements for financial responsibility.

In other words you have to have liability insurance. If you have it with a car already then you're covered. again, this is from the state website.

You have to have liability coverage to operate a motor vehicle including motorcycles.

 

I wouldnt worry about it......may as well fix it yourself...... People rolling around without insurance..sure aren't going to cough up cash for a big bill on other peoples stuff even if it is their fault.........remind me not to go to that state!!!
