Personal Injury Insurance coverage and benefits

• What are not qualified Sarasota Florida car accident medical expenses?

  Only medical expenses which are related to your accident injuries resulting from the car accident qualify for reimbursement. So, if you receive treatment for a medical condition not caused by, or related to, the car accident, then that particular expense would not qualify for compensation. Whereas, each medical expense you incur (and are probably going to incur in the future per your doctor) due to the car accident qualifies for compensation.

• What car insurance pays for your injuries when you're in?

  In Sarasota, Florida, your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for medical expenses, lost wages, and death benefits related to your accident injuries up to a cap of $10,000.00 regardless of who caused the accident. If you also have Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage, then that coverage typically pays an additional $5,000.00 or $10,000.00 (depending on your coverage) for related accident injury medical bills. Your own health insurance typically pays for accident injury related medical expenses if and when PIP and MedPay pay out their total limits.

• Can I claim Sarasota Florida car accident medical expenses not paid by insurance?

  Yes, you may pursue compensation for medical expenses not covered by insurance through a personal injury claim against the at-fault party. This can include expenses beyond your PIP coverage limits or costs not covered by MedPay or health insurance. This is standard in most auto accident claims.

• What's the difference between bodily injury and medical payments?

  Bodily Injury Liability (BI) coverage pays for injuries to others when you are at fault in an accident, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is elective, additional no-fault coverage which pays for your own, or your passengers', medical expenses regardless of fault, up to the coverage limit. MedPay is optional no-fault coverage in addition to Florida's mandatory no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage of $10,000.00.

• Which type of Sarasota, Florida car accident expenses will not be paid by no-fault coverage?

  Florida's auto no-fault coverage pays for medical expenses incurred as a result of the auto accident up to the $10,000.00 limit. So, only medical conditions unrelated to, or not caused by, the car accident, are not paid by auto no-fault insurance.
