Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is auto insurance coverage for medical bills, loss of wages, and other expenses you incur in an Oregon auto accident. Oregon law states that all insurance policies must provide PIP when they issue you an insurance policy. The PIP money keeps you from going into debt while you recover
if your damages are less than the PIP coverage. One of the best things about PIP is that it covers you even if you were at fault.
PIP covers the insured as well as others in the vehicle, including permissive users. Even injured pedestrians can be covered by PIP. With that in mind, it's best to ask for your PIP application right after a car accident. That way you and others can be covered while you are gathering the information needed to make your personal injury insurance claim. If another driver was at fault, the insurance company will be reimbursed for the PIP monies they've paid out to you.
