Reviewed by Michael P. Maddux, Esq. | Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer | Florida Super Lawyer for 16 Consecutive Years
Florida PIP death benefits are a part of Personal Injury Protection insurance many people don’t know about. Under Florida Statute § 627.736, PIP insurance provides death benefits of up to $5,000 per individual. These benefits are separate from and in addition to any available medical or disability benefits under the policy.
Who Can Receive These Death Benefits
Death benefits may be paid to:
- The executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate
- A relative by blood, legal adoption, or marriage
- Any person the insurer determines is equitably entitled to receive the benefits
