As mentioned on an earlier post, if you have been involved in an auto accident in Massachusetts, your insurance carrier will pay the first $2000.00 in medical bills you incur as a result of the accident. You may have to go to an Independent Medical Examination (IME) before your carrier pays for your medical bills, and that will be discussed in later posts.
In order to receive Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits from your carrier, you are required to fill and out and complete an application for PIP benefits. If you do not have an attorney representing you in your personal injury claim, I highly recommend that you pay an attorney to review your PIP application before you submit it to your carrier.

Attorney Nina Kallen over at the Insurance Coverage in Massachusetts blog has a post regarding the recent case of Advanced Spine Centers, Inc. v. Pilgrim Insurance.  This case establishes that a PIP claimant is still entitled to PIP benefits even if the claimant does not submit all paperwork requested by the PIP carrier.  As long as the PIP carrier has all the necessary information it needs to evaluate the claim, then no other information is required to be produced by the claimant.  Although a small win, it is a win nonetheless for all car accident victims throughout Massachusetts.
