Personal injury law enables victims of auto accidents caused by the negligence of others to pursue financial compensation for their damages, including their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. While successful claims filed against drivers at fault for causing wrecks and injuries can help injured victims recover the compensation they need and deserve, not all personal injury cases are that easy – especially when at-fault drivers are underinsured, and the limits of their policy don’t cover the full amount of damages victims incurred in car accidents they caused.
When this is the case, victims may have the ability to seek compensation recoveries through other avenues, including any Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage they have with their own insurance provider. While many Texas motorists have this form of coverage, not everyone knows how it works and why it can make the difference when it matters most.

Insurance companies in Texas are required by state law to offer Personal Injury Protection coverage to drivers and passengers who purchase auto insurance. As a form of no-fault coverage, PIP insurance pays drivers and passengers certain expenses when they suffer injuries in accidents.
This includes payment, based on the amount of coverage a policy holder purchases, for things like:
There are a few reasons why PIP insurance coverage can be a critical safety net in the wake of auto accidents and injuries. First, it can make up the difference in any coverage gaps caused by underinsured drivers who don’t have enough insurance to cover all the damages suffered by victims – especially those with extensive medical bills or catastrophic injuries. Second, PIP is a form of no-fault insurance coverage, which means it pays regardless of who is responsible for causing a wreck. As such, injured drivers and passengers can recover payment under their PIP policy while any personal injury case they file against the at-fault driver in their accident is still pending. This can make a considerable difference for victims and families that need to ease financial burdens created by their wrecks.
It is important to remember that although PIP coverage can provide an essential and viable source of compensation when there are gaps in insurance, an automatic or fair payment is never guaranteed. This is because insurance companies are corporations that care more about their bottom line than they do the well-being of victims, and why it is crucially important to work with experienced lawyers.
