Pursuing compensation for medical bills and other damages in a no-fault state can be complex and will vary depending on the state. In some no-fault states, drivers are required to carry liability insurance, in addition to Personal Injury Protection insurance coverage, or PIP. If a pedestrian is struck by a motorist and requires medical treatment, the injured party can use their own PIP insurance coverage or the PIP coverage of someone in their household to pay for the cost of medical treatment. If the injured party does not drive and does not have PIP coverage, they can pursue a claim against the other driver’s insurance provider to recover compensation.
If the accident victim’s injuries were severe, exceeding the insurance policy’s limits, another option is to file a lawsuit against the negligent driver.
If the accident victim sustained injuries that meet the serious injury threshold in their state, they can pursue compensation from the negligent driver in court, to cover the cost of medical bills and other accident-related losses.
If you were struck by a negligent driver, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit or file a claim with the other driver’s insurance provider. However, recovering compensation after a pedestrian accident can be very complex, due to state laws. That’s where a pedestrian accident lawyer comes in.
