PIP stands for personal injury protection and is used to cover your injuries during the accident. Your insurance company will use the PIP coverage on your policy first to pay for medical payments for you and your passengers regardless of fault.
You will need to contact your insurance as soon as possible to start the claims process, which means helping you pay those medical bills sustained from the accident. Make sure to document everything along the way and adhere to their timeline. Do not wait to seek the care you need.
PIP can help cover:
Surgical operations
Hospitalization
Continuing care
Limited childcare
House cleaning expenses
