In the State of Florida, there are specific rules, laws, statutes, and regulations regarding the payment of medical bills and medical treatment when a person is injured in an automobile accident. PIP stands for Personal Injury Protection and it provides for payment of medical treatment when a person is injured as a result of the automobile accident in the State of Florida. PIP is part of what is termed the “No-Fault” law in the State of Florida. In other words, PIP applies regardless of fault in an automobile accident. For instance, if a person as a result of a rear end automobile accident and the person suffers personal injuries, the PIP under the injured person’s insurance would pay for medical bills. Many people believe that the PIP system in Florida is unfair because the medical bills get processed under the injury victim’s automobile insurance rather than the at fault person’s automobile insurance. While it may seem unfair and does not make complete sense from a common sense viewpoint, the PIP laws and regulations are what they are. Due to the complexities and nuances of PIP and the related insurance regulations, requirements, and procedures under Florida law, it is helpful to have a Florida personal injury attorney advise, consult, and represent an injury victim on these and other matters related to a personal injury claim.
