If you’ve just settled your personal injury case, you might be in for a rude awakening. That settlement check? It might not all be yours. As Utah’s leading personal injury firm, we’re sounding the alarm on a little-known insurance practice that’s costing victims thousands.
The PIP Payback Problem
Here’s the shocker: In Utah, your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurer has a right to get reimbursed for benefits they’ve paid you. But here’s where it gets tricky:
- They can’t take it directly from your settlement.
- They have to go after the at-fault driver’s insurance instead.
- But if you’re not careful, you could end up paying them back anyway.
The “Double Dip” Dilemma
Insurance companies often try to include PIP reimbursement in your settlement offer. If you accept, you could be:
- Paying back benefits you’re not legally required to
- Taking a significant cut to your compensation
- Potentially facing a “double hit” if your PIP insurer still seeks reimbursement
