TALLAHASSEE - Lawmakers are likely to return for a special session in September to revisit the political battle over auto insurance, Gov. Charlie Crist said Wednesday.

"I favor the continuation of personal-injury protection," Crist said.

"I know many in our hospitals [industry] favor it; it's important to people in terms of health care. And it's important to me. I would view favorably a special session before Oct. 1."

That's the date Florida's decades-old personal-injury protection law, known as PIP, is scheduled to expire. The system, created in the early 1970s, requires drivers to carry $10,000 to pay the cost of injuries sustained in an auto accident regardless of who was at fault while restricting a person's right to sue the other driver.

Without PIP, victims would have to get payment from at-fault drivers, often by suing them and their insurance companies, if they have insurance.

The at-fault driver would have to pay his own medical bills.
