Is an Auto Insurance Company Refusing to Pay PIP Benefits?
Florida is a "no-fault" insurance state This means that regardless of who is at fault for the accident, your own insurance company is responsible for paying for your medical bills as you treat.
This insurance will potentially reimburse expenses up to $10,000. PIP coverage includes:
- 80 percent to all reasonable expenses for necessary medical care and treatment.
- 60 percent of any loss of gross income or loss of earning capacity.
- $5,000.00 death benefits

When you are injured, you may primarily depend on your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage to pay your medical bills. However, it is common for some auto insurance companies to unfairly deny payment of PIP benefits.

Counsel and Action You May Need to Get Benefits or Reverse a PIP Claim Denial
A PIP lawsuit may be necessary if your insurer is refusing to pay your medical costs—or paying less than the portion required by law. Our firm is adept at preparing a pre-lawsuit demand and filing a PIP suit if the company still fails to comply. Some important considerations if you are seeking PIP benefits include:
- Sound legal guidance can be essential after your Florida car accident, because some companies use a range of deceptive techniques and technicalities in the effort to avoid paying PIP benefits.
- We can help you prepare properly for any examination under oath (EUO) and/or independent medical examination (IME) required by your insurance company.
- You do not pay an up-front retainer to have Cindy A. Goldstein pursue your benefits under Florida's PIP statute. If we prevail and get your bills paid, the insurer is typically also liable for attorney fees and costs.
