Car Accident
FAQ

In a Florida auto accident claim, Personal Injury Protection, commonly called PIP, will generally be the first coverage used for accident-related medical bills. The firm's existing guidance notes that prompt medical treatment is particularly important because PIP benefits can depend on receiving initial treatment within the required period following the crash.

Once available PIP benefits have been used, health insurance may become another source of payment for medical expenses, subject to the terms and requirements of your health insurance policy.

If the driver who caused the accident is uninsured, one of the first things to review is whether your own policy includes Uninsured Motorist coverage.

This coverage may provide an additional source of recovery when the at-fault driver does not have bodily injury insurance available to compensate you for your injuries and other losses.

Not every car accident claim develops in the same way. Questions can arise about insurance limits, available coverage, responsibility for medical bills, additional liable parties and the value of the losses caused by the collision.

An experienced personal injury attorney can review the circumstances of the crash, identify potential sources of insurance coverage and deal with the insurance companies while you focus on your health and recovery.
