Understanding the Disparity Between Personal Injury Protection and Medical Payments in New York

Navigating the complexities of personal injury claims in New York can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to understanding the differences between Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage. As experienced Denver personal injury lawyers, McCormick & Murphy is here to shed light on this important topic and help you make informed decisions.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a mandatory coverage in New York that provides immediate benefits to those injured in a car accident, regardless of fault. It covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs up to the policy limits. Medical Payments (MedPay), on the other hand, is an optional coverage that provides additional medical expense reimbursement, often used to supplement PIP or other insurance policies.
