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.

Premises liability describes the legal responsibility that a landowner and occupiers of a property have for injuries and accidents that occur on their property. Property can be office buildings, private and public sidewalks and walk ways, restaurants, hotels, cruise ships, parking lots and parking garages, malls, libraries, schools, etc.

Injuries may be the result of another person’s actions on the property and may still be the responsibility of a property owner, especially if the owner fails to provide adequate security on the property.

In order to determine premise liability on the part of the owner, several factors are taken in to account. One is the legal status of the visitor such as – is the visitor an invitee, social guest, licensee, or a trespasser? Another factor is to consider whether or not the owner of the premise/property has made reasonable effort to provide for the safety.
