PIP Claims Lawyer

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) provides compensation to victims after an auto accident regardless of who was at fault for the crash. This is a type of no-fault insurance that Florida laws are supposed to make filing a PIP claim easy for victims. However, insurance companies do not always want to cooperate. This is particularly true when your injuries are severe, which is when you need the money to pay for medical bills and lost wages.

At Schlacter Law, we understand that you pay your insurance premiums for when you need to make a valid claim and get compensation for medical bills or lost wages. We do not tolerate insurance companies that refuse to honor their obligation to pay for valid PIP claims. We offer a FREE consultation, and, if we accept your case, we will aggressively pursue your case to hold insurance companies accountable for their actions. There is no risk to ask for our help because we only get paid when we recover compensation for you. Call our award-winning law firm by dialing (305) 999-1111 or fill out a free case evaluation to discover what our PIP claims lawyer at Schlacter Law can do for you.

Florida is a no-fault insurance state, which means that PIP claims are paid to the insured driver no matter who is at fault for the crash. The intent behind this statutory scheme is to enable injured motorists to immediately recover compensation for medical bills and lost wages instead of waiting for a claim to get processed or litigated. The emphasis is on immediate payment for customers.

PIP claims generally pay the following:

• 80% of medical bills, which include medications, dental expenses, therapy, rehabilitation services, procedures/surgeries, and other treatment
• 60% of lost wages due to the subject accident and the injury related to the crash
• Up to $5,000 of death benefits
• Other possible benefits depending on the plan, including mileage reimbursement to and from your healthcare providers

However, PIP claims generally may not pay:

• Any medical bills when treatment is not started within 14 days of the subject accident
• For massage or acupuncture therapy
• Many other reasons for denied and/or unpaid PIP claims

Victims who have had a PIP claim denied may be entitled to free legal representation if the insurers improperly reduced or denied PIP benefits. In these situations, victims may seek their legal fees associated with pursuing their claim. If you suffered a serious or catastrophic injury and you are having difficulty with PIP claims, call our PIP claims lawyer at Schlacter Law for a FREE consultation to learn what your case may be worth and how we can start protecting your rights to compensation today.
