Accident insurance

FLORIDA- Floridabar.org writes that that “PIP,” which stands for “Personal Injury Insurance,” covers drivers for costs affiliated with crashes even if the accident is not their fault. The concept of PIP is that it is intended to reduce the incentive to sue after a wreck. The insurance covers medical costs and other common expenses related to vehicle collisions. While it will not cover everything, it is meant to cover 80 percent of the medical expenses, 60 percent of lost wages, and provide $5,000 in death benefits for victims of collisions.

The coverage provided by this insurance will vary depending on whether the crash took place in the state or elsewhere in the country or Canada. In Florida, insureds and family members with whom they reside are covered. PIP will also be extended to some passengers if they do not own a car, and to those who may borrow your vehicle as long as they do so with your permission.

PIP also provides coverage to cyclists and pedestrians and will cover the insured for injuries that are the result of violent attacks such as a car-jacking.

In cases where the insured is involved in a crash somewhere in the United States or Canada, but not in Florida, then the coverage only extends to the policyholder and family with whom they reside. The coverage in these circumstances only applies when the vehicle belongs to the insured, and it will not be extended to passengers, those who borrow the car or to pedestrians and cyclists.

Drivers are legally required to carry a minimum insurance policy. However, many motorists also carry additional coverage for a variety of other situations in which additional costs may stem from a crash.

Wow I have never had such a positive review of a law firm and I guess it’s because they never get it all right. This law firm did and they were the ultimate in professional acumen, business acumen and they made what I thought would be a hard process very easy. Tina Morace was the ultimate para legal who when I called and or had a question if was in a call,on vacation or busy made sure to make me a priority and return all my calls within half hr. Service like this makes me and will make me always recommend this law firm and to feel comfortable doing so. Tina’s service I hope will be recognized as she is the ultimate professional and made me feel comfortable for the whole two year process. Have an awesome day and once again they are awesome.
