What if my insurance company refuses to pay my bills and lost wages in a timely matter?
Medical benefits are required to be paid within 30 days of the insurance company’s receipt of the bill and lost wages should be paid every two weeks. Sometimes insurance companies fail to pay PIP benefits within the time period prescribed by law. On some occasions, it is just an oversight or mistake made by the insurance company. In other cases, the insurance company intentionally refuses to pay benefits or denies that you have any PIP coverage at all. In any of these situations, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit to secure payment of the PIP benefits you are lawfully due. If you have questions about a denial or reduction of PIP benefits, you may need to seek the advice of an attorney familiar with this area of the law. If an attorney has to file a lawsuit to obtain payment of the benefits, and subsequently wins the lawsuit, the attorney will be entitled to recover attorney fees and costs from the insurance company.
