It would help if you would include what you are driving and year of build. I am taking for granted most have full coverage, deductibles not withstanding. Thanks in advance, cycler

Florida is a "no fault" state. Insurance is high because of all the un-insured driving. So whether you cause an accident or not... your insurance takes a hit. Also most people don't realize it but if you have 2 "hits" on your record within I believe 3 years your insurance IS cancelable.
This happened to a friend. He was in 2 car accidents (both no fault) within one year and he was hit on his bicycle by a car (got a brain injury again no fault and no claim made for accident only hospital record existed on accident).
Progressive cancelled his insurance AND counted the bicycle accident based on hospital record!!
He had to drive a motorcycle (in FL use a helmet no insurance needed) for over a year and a half or more until time passed to be outside of the 3 year look back period to able to get "high risk" expensive insurance so he could drive again.
It was an awful experience when two of his cars were totalled and NONE of it was his fault. Take a bus, train or ride a motorcycle. The three wheeled trike bikes you see... some could be people trying to just get by. FL car insurance laws and no fault is definitely not that. It's YOUR fault first your insurance gets dinged first. PIP baby!
(My daughter had a similar experience accident wise. USAA was great. She had 2 accidents, no faults, and USAA did NOT cancel her.)
