PIP also called No Fault insurance pays your medical bills, and anyone in your household if they are injured in a car you are driving. It only pays a percentage. Without PIP, your bills will be higher. It is mandatory in the state of Florida to have PIP. Sometimes there are tricky issues that come up, so please call us if you have any questions about PIP.

During COVID, many households were impacted. Their hours were cut. Some lost their jobs. Now that people have returned to work, it is important to look again at your insurance plan.

Make sure to have uninsured motorist coverage. Call us if you have any questions.

We suggest you contact an attorney to know your rights before giving any statements. Many times, the insurance company has no legal right to insist on a statement, even though they tell you that you must give one. A recorded statement can be held against you, especially if you forget important information. For instance, if the insurance company asks you what hurts, and you mention your broken arm and forget to mention your swollen knee, the insurance company may later try to deny payment for the knee surgery by claiming your knee was never hurt because you failed to mention it. Please call Howell & Thornhill, P.A., to find out if you must give a recorded statement and the important things to remember when giving a recorded statement.
