One of the reasons that plaintiffs hire a lawyer is to get their medical bills paid. In order to do that you and your staff will need to be cognizant about insurance policy and to write numerous letters to insurance companies.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is an extension of car insurance available in certain states like Pennsylvania that covers medical expenses and, in some cases, lost wages and other damages. PIP is sometimes referred to as “no-fault” coverage, because the statutes enacting it are generally known as no-fault laws, and PIP is designed to be paid without regard to “fault,” or more properly, legal liability. PIP is also called “no-fault” because, by definition, a claimant’s, or insured’s, insurance premium should not increase due to a PIP claim.

PIP is a mandatory coverage in some states. PIP coverage may vary from state to state in terms of both what is covered and what types of treatments are considered customary and reasonable.
