The Florida Legislature is discussing removing the personal injury protection requirement and instead requiring drivers to have bodily injury coverage. Do you think this switch would be beneficial to the citizens of Florida? Why or why not? If you think the legislature should make a change, what is minimum bodily injury insurance a person should be required to have and why?
