What is Personal Injury Protection (PIP)?

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a type of insurance in Florida, also known as no-fault insurance. It provides coverage for people involved in automobile accidents by paying for lost wages due to missed work or covering medical bills—up to $10,000—for treatment related to the accident.

Yes, you can be reimbursed for lost wages after a car accident in Florida. Your own PIP insurance covers part of your lost income, and you may also recover from the at-fault driver’s insurance. After a crash, make sure you explore both options—because it pays to call Payer.

Personal injury damages refer to the compensation you're entitled to after an injury caused by someone else's negligence. Think of them as any change to your appearance or life, along with anything that has cost—or will cost—you money. This includes pain and suffering, scarring, and disfigurement. It also covers your medical bills, both those you've already incurred and those you’ll need to pay in the future.

I was loading a package vehicle and I fell backwards into the vehicle—about 3 feet in height. After I fell, I got up and finished my job. I went home, and the next day is when I started feeling all the symptoms.
