Understanding PIP Coverage
Oregon auto insurance policies generally include Med Pay (Medical Payments) and PIP (Personal Injury Protection). They are insurance coverages that help pay for your medical bills after an accident, regardless of who was at fault. These benefits are typically limited and cover certain expenses.
- Covers medical expenses regardless of fault.
- Limited coverage that can be used quickly after an accident.
- Does not cover full damages like pain-and-suffering or lost income.
PIP coverage may help cover services such as:
- Chiropractic care
- Massage therapy
- Acupuncture
- Medical evaluations
- Rehabilitation-related care

Will I Need to Hire an Attorney?
From what we have learned, over the decades of caring for patients with injury cases, an attorney can:
- Ensure your case is fully developed and that you pursue the maximum compensation available, not just what insurance covers.
- Help account for the full value of your case-like pain and suffering, lost wages or long-term impact.
- Guide you in efforts to not accept a quick, low settlement.
- Help you be documents your injuries properly.
- Ensure you don’t have to handle the situation alone
