Car Accident Insurance FAQ’s

Posted on December 2, 2021

What is “PIP” Insurance?

  • Oregon Personal Injury Protection Insurance
  • You are injured in an auto, bicycle, pedestrian accident, your auto insurance will cover up to $15,000 in no-fault medical coverage within the first year, and up to $3,000 in lost wages for 52 weeks.Eugene physical therapy after auto accident
  • Motorcycle insurance is not always as comprehensive.

Does it matter that I wasn’t driving and my car wasn’t even involved? Or if I don’t have insurance?

  • No – PIP coverage protects passengers of a car, as well as pedestrians and cyclists hit by a car. If you have auto insurance, your policy will cover you in any of these situations. If you do not have auto insurance or health insurance, then the driver’s insurance should pay your medical bills.

Will the insurance cover any and all medical bills?

  • Your insurance should pay for medically necessary medical expenses within the first year, if they are reasonable and related to the accident, up to your policy limit (usually $15,000).

What if my insurance company doesn’t pay when and what I think they should?

  • Some people hire an attorney to help make sure the insurance company pays. There are many attorneys who specialize in these types of cases.
  • All people benefit from asking lots of questions of your doctors, your insurance company, and your attorney if you have one.

What if my care exceeds $15,000?Eugene physical therapy after auto accident

  • If you have medical insurance, it will usually pay additional amounts. But you may have deductibles, copays, coinsurances, or exclusions. If you do not have health insurance, you may be billed personally for that amount.

Am I required to see certain doctors or specialists?

  • Oregon PIP insurance is required to pay for any reasonable and necessary treatment that you have, at the doctor of your choice.
