Massachusetts Personal Injury Protection (PIP) rules &
laws.
You are entitled to help with you auto accident medical bills
regardless of who is at fault.
Massachusetts is what is known as a "no-fault" state with regard to
car accident injury claims. This insures that everyone gets a basic level of
help with their medical bills after an MA car accident.
Under Massachusetts
law, your auto insurance company always pays the first $2000 of medical bills as
part of a
compulsory insurance package required for all vehicles.
After that, if you have private health insurance, your own coverage takes over. If
you don't have any health insurance, or if you have a state program such as
MassHealth, your medical bills from $2000 to $8000 are covered under PIP.
PIP
can also be used to cover up to 75% of lost wages if you are out of work.
One
thing to note: Massachusetts Personal Injury Protection does NOT cover riders
and passengers involved in a motorcycle accident. PIP does cover other people
injured by a motorcycle, either.
The
rules and paperwork for managing the PIP paperwork can be fairly complicated. That's why as your attorney,
I take care of all of this for you.
Many MA auto accident lawyers may charge
you several hundred dollars or more out of you final settlement to cover the costs of
handling the Personal Injury Protection paperwork. I include this valuable
service at no extra cost to you.
If you chose to hire me to
represent you, I am committed to fighting the insurance companies on your
behalf. I handle all the medical bills and paperwork as well. After an auto
accident, I firmly believe that your main focus and responsibility should be on
your own health needs and getting back on the road to recovery.
