Salem Car Accident Lawyer
When you hire a Salem car crash attorney from Joel H. Schwartz, PC, you’ll have the benefit of our decades of experience in winning rightful compensation for our clients.
Being in a serious auto wreck is a difficult experience on its own, but sometimes the aftermath makes the wreck itself seem like a breeze in comparison. Now you’re dealing with the pain of your injuries and the emotional turmoil a serious wreck can leave you with. You may be scared to drive again, and your finances may become a real problem.
After a collision, you’ve got so much on your plate that filing a personal injury claim seems like an impossible mountain to climb. But not filing your claim would likely be a mistake because a Salem car accident lawyer from our firm will handle the hard stuff for you. You can focus on your injuries, and we’ll help you get paid.
Understanding Your PIP Insurance Benefits
Massachusetts operates under a no-fault system when it comes to auto insurance. This means that, if you’re involved in a collision, your own no-fault insurance, also known as PIP (personal injury protection), benefits will cover you. This works well some of the time, but often, your insurer will challenge your claim and even deny your coverage.
Your Salem auto crash attorney can help you file a claim with your insurance company to ensure you receive the benefits owed to you. Also, in the event of a serious crash injury, you can recover your losses directly from the at-fault driver. This is because a serious injury may result in damages greater than what your PIP benefits will cover.
