What personal injury protection covers and its limits
This section defines personal injury protection (PIP) benefits as reasonable medical and related costs from an accident, similar to prepaid health care. It sets a $10,000 total limit per person, but insurers can offer more. It also excludes PIP for people on public assistance if the policy was free.
