Personal Injury Protection

What is Personal Injury Protection (PIP)?

Personal Injury Protection is a type of auto insurance coverage that provides first-party benefits for medical expenses, loss of income, funeral expenses, and similar expenses without considering fault. In Pennsylvania, coverage includes $10,000 in medical benefits, $5,000 in death benefits, and $2,500 for non-emergency medical conditions. 

According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), Personal Injury Protection is “an extension of car insurance available in some U.S. states that covers medical expenses and, in some cases, lost wages and other damages.” Importantly, this protection covers costs for policyholders regardless of who is at fault in an accident. PIP coverage is designed to ensure prompt medical treatment and financial support for individuals injured in auto accidents, without the need for lengthy legal proceedings to establish fault.

Personal Injury Protection is particularly beneficial for minor accidents where fault is unclear, and states with no-fault insurance law, as it provides immediate coverage, reduces litigation, and provides comprehensive protection. Understanding Personal Injury Protection is crucial for drivers to make informed decisions about their auto insurance coverage, ensuring they are adequately protected in the event of an accident.
