Insurance Coverage through Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal injury protection is part of most auto insurance policies. It provides coverage for medical expenses up to a certain dollar amount. It can be used for expenses not covered by your regular medical insurance such as lost wages, co-pays, and even funeral expenses.  PIP covers all occupants of your vehicle during an accident. Your own PIP insurance will even cover if you or a family member are injured while in another person’s vehicle or if you are injured by a driver who lacks insurance coverage of their own.

Filing claims to use your PIP coverage can actually be a bit complicated and time consuming. Our Melrose MA auto accident lawyers can assist with filing such claims. We understand how the process works and can provide valuable guidance and support while you work on recovering from your injuries. Here are a few helpful pieces of information regarding PIP:

• You must work directly with the PIP insurer in order to receive benefits.
• Your insurance company will provide you with the necessary forms to fill out.
• Your PIP insurer may require that you be examined by one of their doctors.
• You must provide documentation of the expenses which are included in your PIP claim. Keep good records to help facilitate this process.
• PIP insurers may require that you make a formal statement under oath.

It is best to follow the procedures set in place by the PIP insurer to increase the chances of your claim being approved.
