Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Car Insurance

Personal injury protection (PIP), also known as “no-fault insurance”, helps cover expenses like medical bills, lost wages or funeral costs after a car accident, no matter who is at fault. Requirements vary from state to state.

Personal Injury Protection Car Insurance Covers

  • Medical Expenses covers medical bills for you and your passengers after a car accident, may even help cover your health insurance deductible.
  • Work Loss covers lost wages because you’re out of work due to an accident. Coverage can also apply if you’re self-employed and need to hire temporary workers to perform tasks.
  • Funeral Expenses covers funeral, burial or cremation expenses after a car accident.
  • Survivors’ Loss can help replace your lost income for your surviving dependents if you pass away in an auto accident.
  • Essential Services helps pay for acts that you’d normally perform if you weren’t injured, like childcare and housecleaning.

Example of how personal injury protection (PIP) can help protect you:

  • You are injured after getting hit by a car while walking. 

Personal Injury Protection insurance does not cover things like:

  • Any injuries from an accident while you were committing a crime, like fleeing the police.
  • Injuries in an accident while you received payment for driving.

At-Fault vs No-Fault insurance

Coverage in at-fault states, drivers who cause an accident must file a claim with their insurance company to pay for damages or injuries.

No-fault states require every driver to file a claim with their own insurance company after a car collision, no matter who’s at fault. In these states, you’ll need to buy PIP as a part of your auto insurance policy.

According to the Insurance Information Institute, there are currently 12 no-fault insurance states that require PIP coverage:

  • Florida
  • Hawaii
  • Kansas
  • Kentucky
  • Massachusetts
  • Michigan
  • Minnesota
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • North Dakota
  • Pennsylvania
  • Utah
