PIP Litigation

Coral Springs PIP Litigation Attorney

Serving Coral Springs, Pompano Beach, Florida, and Surrounding Areas

A PIP (personal injury protection) lawsuit is filed by an attorney on behalf of an injury victim or medical provider against an insurance company that provides personal injury protection benefits when the insurance company denies or reduces those benefits. An insurance company may assert that charges for a medical treatment or procedure are not justified. If you are an accident victim or a medical provider who has been denied payment from an insurance company for personal injury protection in Coral Springs or Pompano Beach, please contact me for a consultation about your case. As a Coral Springs / Pompano Beach PIP litigation lawyer, I represented clients in PIP suits for more than 20 years.

PIP Litigation

Most Florida auto insurance policies contain personal injury protection coverage, which typically covers 80% of reasonable, related, and necessary medical expenses and 60% of lost wages for the injured party, capped at $10,000. Insurance companies deny payment of medical bills for various reasons, including but not limited to downcoding, peer review, independent medical examinations (IME) which are actually not really "independent," and coverage issues.

Attorney Cindy Goldstein has practiced in the area of PIP litigation for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, the Florida Legislature sided with the insurance companies and Florida's HB 837 (2023) eliminated the one-way attorney fee statute for most new PIP suits, meaning plaintiffs can no longer automatically recover attorney fees if they win a PIP lawsuit. The new law repeals Section 627.428 of the Florida Statutes, which previously allowed successful plaintiffs to collect fees from the insurer should they prevail.
