The latest on seeking PIP benefits and more!
Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) is medical coverage included in your automobile insurance policy that provides reimbursement for necessary medical expenses related to an automobile injury. New Jersey is a “no fault’ state, which means, regardless of fault, medical treatment is paid for by the injured party’s own automobile insurance carrier’s PIP Benefits. When a client who has been injured in an automobile accident comes into your office, you need to be familiar with the arbitration process, as well as case law and recent developments.
Our expert panel will share their knowledge and highlight some of the latest issues they encounter in their cases.
