What is personal injury protection insurance?

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance is a type of insurance coverage available in Nevada that pays for medical costs resulting from an automobile accident. PIP insurance is also known as “no-fault insurance” because it pays for the costs of an injured person regardless of who is at fault in an accident. PIP insurance is intended to cover medical expenses such as medical bills, hospital bills, treatment costs for injuries, and even lost wages if the insured person is unable to work due to the injury. It also can cover the cost of funeral expenses, if the accident resulted in death. PIP insurance can cover a variety of expenses related to a car accident, including medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. It is important to note that if an injury is severe enough, the injured person may be eligible to receive additional compensation from the at-fault party. However, PIP insurance is intended to cover a portion of the costs associated with an accident that the at-fault party may not cover. PIP insurance is mandatory in Nevada, and it is important to make sure that you have adequate coverage to protect you in the event of an accident. If you are involved in a car accident, it is important to contact your insurance company to make sure that you are properly covered and that your claim is being handled in accordance with the law.
