If your windshield is cracked must your insurance company replace it or does it require collision insurance according to Florida law?

Florida Statute 627.7288 states that the deductible shall not apply to windshield damages. However, you must have either comprehensive or collision coverage. A policy that provides liability coverage only will not cover your windshield.
