Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Lawyer in Palm Beach County – Hicks & Motto
In Florida, Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is also known as “no-fault” benefits and applies specifically to automobile accidents. When a person is injured in a crash and requires medical treatment, the cost of that medical treatment, up to $10,000, is paid for (in most instances) by the injured person’s own automobile insurance carrier – regardless of who caused the accident.
The injured person is still responsible for a portion of the medical expenses, even with PIP. However, when the automobile insurance company denies benefits to its injured policyholder, Florida PIP Statute § 627.736 allows for recovery of PIP benefits with no attorney fees or costs. The injured person or a medical provider pays absolutely nothing to claim PIP benefits.
