More like snow this time of year. That big blast hitting CA is going to hit us next.

I already get more sunny days there.

Something I learned about PIP some years back when a family member had a PIP claim after they were in an accident for real medical expenses (they went to my doctor.) Once someone at that address has made a PIP claim, everybody else who has legal residence at that address can't make a PIP claim for a period of time, or something goofy to that effect. I may be way off the mark on this one, but for some reason I recall having a claim a year or two later on a different policy and the PIP claim coming up as an issue.

It's disgusting. The scammer doctors charging a thousand dollars for an Advil in a car accident claim (because the insurance company will pay it) are just as bad as the ambulance chaser lawyers.

I see Arizona isn't dumb enough to require PIP!

My car insurance costs there are significantly lower than FL, and unlikely to change. Same with homeowner's insurance. Cheap as wine, like living in the Midwest again.

Are you going to your house in Paris for the Olympics?

How does insurance in Europe compare to Florida and Hawaii?

Yeah, the problem with high insurance prices is that they push more people to drive with no or minimal insurance.

That in turn means that everyone else sees higher rates and it becomes a vicious circle.

NJ had problems like this maybe 10 years ago?

They seem to have addressed the situation.

Hopefully the recent law changes in Florida flow through and help with the home and auto insurance prices.

Our Gov has done nothing to fix it.
