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.

Florida’s truck route network is a vital system that supports the state’s logistics and transportation needs. It includes
major highways like I-95, I-75, I-4, and I-10, which are essential for long-haul trucking in the trucking industry. Key US highways such as US-1, US-27, and US-98 provide important connections between cities, while state roads ensure comprehensive coverage.

Unfortunately, this also means a higher likelihood of large truck-related accidents, which can result in severe injuries and fatalities due to the size and weight of these vehicles.
When a truck accident occurs, it’s not just about dealing with the immediate aftermath—such as medical treatment and vehicle repairs—but also about understanding the regulations and liabilities. […]

What Happens If Someone Hits You and They Don’t Have Insurance?
It is estimated that 1 in 8 drivers in the United States are uninsured. Unfortunately, this means if you are involved in a car accident, you may encounter an uninsured motorist. But what happens if someone hits you and they don’t have insurance?
The answer largely depends on the state you live in. Sometimes, your own insurance may cover the losses you incurred in the collision and in others, you may have to file a personal injury lawsuit.
