Attention Salt Lake City accident victims! There’s a ticking time bomb in your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits that could detonate your entire settlement. As Utah’s leading personal injury firm, we’ve seen too many victims blindsided by the hidden dangers of PIP assignment.
The Medical Provider PIP Grab
Here’s the shocker: In Utah, you can assign your PIP benefits directly to your medical providers. Sounds convenient, right? Not so fast. This seemingly innocent move could:
- Drain your PIP benefits before you even realize it
- Leave you on the hook for inflated medical bills
- Potentially reduce your overall settlement
The “Reasonable and Necessary” Trap
Utah law requires PIP to cover “reasonable and necessary” medical expenses. But here’s the rub:
- Medical providers might charge more than what’s “reasonable”
- Your PIP insurer could deny part of the claim
- You could be left holding the bag for the difference
