Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance
PIP Benefits: Utah law requires that you purchase automobile insurance to protect yourself when you are in an automobile collision. This insurance is called Personal Injury Protection and is often referred to as PIP.
No Fault: you must first make a claim against your own automobile insurance for PIP benefits before making a claim against the at-fault driver. Utah is considered a "no fault" state because you have to make a claim against your own insurance company regardless of who was at fault for causing the collision.
Minimum PIP Benefits: Utah law requires the following minimum PIP benefits in every automobile insurance policy:
** Payment of up to $3,000.00 of medical bills related to your injuries
** Payment of up to $250,000 of lost income per week (maximum of 52 weeks)
** Payment of household services of up to $20.00 per day.
Call your Insurance Company: PIP benefits are typically paid by your automobile insurance company without much hassle. Call your insurance company to obtain a claim number and an application form to recieve PIP benefits.
Use your PIP Benefits: Provide your medical providers with the name of your automobile insurance company and , if you have it, give your medical provider your PIP claim number.
