PIP” Insurance is also required: What is it?
“PIP” stands for Personal Injury Protection. It is the required no fault medical and wage loss coverage under your own auto policy. Currently, Oregon requires that each Oregon driver have at least $15,000 of no-fault medical coverage. So, when you get treatment after a car accident, bring your PIP claim number to the doctor so he or she can bill your insurance company directly. Be sure you always keep track of your remaining PIP medical benefit balance. PIP also provides some coverage for your wage loss due to an accident. PIP benefits generally expire one year after the accident.
