HOW WE GET YOU PAID IF YOU'VE BEEN INJURED IN A CAR ACCIDENT
If you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle accident as a result of another’s negligence, there are 3 potential avenues of recovery available to you.
The first is PIP (Personal Injury Protection). This is coverage you get from your own insurance company to pay for up to $10,000 of your medical bills or up to 60% of your loss wages.
The second avenue is BI (Bodily Injury Coverage). This is coverage you get from the negligent party’s insurance company for medical bills not covered by PIP and any assessed pain and suffering (inconvenience, future limitations, future bills etc…) sustained by you as a result of your injuries.
The third avenue is UM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage). This is coverage you get from your own insurance company, should the negligent party not have BI coverage or your uncovered medical bills and pain and suffering have been assessed to be worth more than the limits available under PIP and BI.
