What is PIP?
PIP coverage (Personal Injury Protection) is required in Oregon and is akin to “no-fault” insurance. If you are in an auto accident, and you have auto insurance, your coverage provides at least $15,000 worth of medical expenses that your care provider states are related to your accident. Medical expenses can include dental work, chiropractor visits, emergency room visits, ambulance bills, medicines, doctor bills and physical therapy bills.
