Denial of PIP Insurance
Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) insurance is meant to pay the reasonable and necessary medical expenses for covered persons for treatment due to an auto accident. It is sometimes referred to as “no-fault” insurance and is often established or mandated by statute. As the name indicates, the coverage and payments under PIP insurance apply without regard to who was at fault in causing the accident. Even a motorist who was at fault in causing an automobile accident might obtain benefits under his or her PIP coverage. In some states, licensed drivers must purchase PIP insurance before they may drive.
In Florida, the PIP statute changed effective January 1, 2008. Our firm is investigating and litigating allegations that certain insurance carriers seized on this change as an opportunity to unlawfully decrease their reimbursements to healthcare providers and to change their PIP polices without prior consent or agreement from their policyholders. State Farm, Progressive and others are defendants in these PIP cases.
