Tampa Personal Injury Attorney Explains No-Fault PIP Insurance

In 1971, Florida became the second state in the country to approve a no-fault plan for automobile insurance. The law, which took effect in 1972, is known as a no-fault personal injury protection law, or PIP. The basic principle of PIP is that, to a certain point, no one is “blamed” for a vehicle accident. Motorists insure themselves for a minimum of $10,000 in medical expenses and lost wages. Therefore, should an accident occur, each motorist is initially covered by his or her own insurance company.

It may sound like a simple plan, but no-fault laws and PIP insurance are commonly misunderstood. If a motorist’s PIP insurance is not enough to cover the losses from an accident, a Tampa personal injury attorney becomes essential. Otherwise, a motorist may be caught in a situation of suffering extensive injuries with no way to pay for medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, permanent disabilities, and so on.
