PIP is also known as “no fault” insurance;<\/h2>\n

Every driver in the State of Florida must carry such insurance coverage.<\/h3>\n

The Florida Supreme Court\u00a0ruled<\/a>\u00a0recently that auto insurance companies providing personal injury protection (PIP) coverage may not require an injured person to submit to a statement under oath or examination under oath in order to receive medical benefits to.<\/p>\n

PIP is also known as “no fault” insurance; every driver in the State of Florida must carry such insurance coverage, which affords up to $10,000 in medical coverage to an injured driver or passenger involved in an auto accident, regardless of who was at fault.<\/p>\n

Greater restrictions on Florida PIP<\/h3>\n

Last year, Florida lawmakers imposed greater restrictions on Florida PIP law and available insurance coverage, including reducing the amount of benefits to just $2,500 unless the injured person received medical care within 14 days of the auto accident and such condition was considered by the doctor to be an “emergency medical condition.”<\/p>\n

The new PIP law also provided that insurers could require the injured person to submit to a statement under oath (similar to a deposition in a legal case) before qualifying for benefits.\u00a0 The recent decision by Florida’s highest court is a step in the right direction toward striking down significant portions of this unfair and overly restrictive new PIP law.<\/p>\n

The experienced and aggressive\u00a0auto accident<\/a>\u00a0attorneys at\u00a0Ahava Law Group<\/a>\u00a0have extensive knowledge of the new PIP law and the benefits to which those who have been hurt are entitled under Florida law.<\/p>\n
