Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a type of auto insurance coverage that helps pay for medical expenses and other related costs if you are injured in a car accident, regardless of who is at fault. This coverage can include hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, and even lost wages due to the injury. PIP is designed to provide immediate financial assistance to injured parties, ensuring they receive necessary medical care without delay. In some states, PIP is mandatory, while in others, it is optional. Understanding your state's laws regarding PIP can help you make informed decisions about your auto insurance coverage.
