If you are hurt in an auto accident, this part of your no-fault policy will pay all of your medical costs. It will also pay, up to a maximum amount, for the wages you would have earned if you had not been hurt, for up to three years.
In 2007, the allowed amount under no-fault is $4,589 per month. If you are killed in an accident, your policy will pay your family up to the monthly amount for three years, based on what they would have received from your earnings and fringe benefits. You may also be entitled to up to $20 per day in replacement services. This is to pay for services you are no longer able to provide for yourself or your family because you are injured, such as housekeeping and yard work.
You may coordinate PIP coverage with any health or disability policy you have (except Medicaid, Medicare or a Medicare supplemental policy) to reduce your PIP premium. The health or disability plan then becomes the primary payer for medical or wage loss expenses, and the auto policy would cover remaining medical or wage loss expenses. These auto insurance coverages are also called excess medical and excess wage loss.
