What is a Personal Injury Protection?
PIP is a type of coverage that helps people who have been hurt financially as a result of another person’s negligence. In order to be eligible for PIP, you must have a health condition that qualifies for the program. Conditions that typically qualify include arthritis, cancer, chronic pain, heart disease, major depression, post-concussion syndrome, and pregnancy.
If you are injured in an accident and meet the eligibility requirements, your policy will cover 80% of your medical expenses up to $2,500 per day. If you are hospitalized, the coverage will extend to $5,000 per day. If you are unable to work because of your injury, PIP will also provide benefits for you and your family.
