What is PIP Insurance?
PIP insurance is part of your car insurance coverage. It is also known as “no-fault coverage.” This means you are protected whether or not you caused the accident. In Utah, it covers many different types of losses after a car accident. These losses include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Lost household services
- Funeral expenses
- Death benefits
All Utah residents are required to have PIP insurance. It is an important resource that helps pay for your injuries after a car accident. You may be wondering if you are covered by PIP. If you have car insurance, then you are.
- Every car insurance policy is required to include personal injury protection.
- This coverage is provided by your insurance company. If you are injured in any car accident, your insurance company will help pay for your medical expenses.
- If you did not cause the accident that injured you, your insurance rates will not be affected. This is because your insurance company will be reimbursed by that of the at-fault person.
