Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Arbitration Forum

Disputes arising from no-fault coverage between insurers, self-insureds and commercial insureds with large retentions can be quickly and economically settled through the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Arbitration Forum.

Insurers or self-insureds who have signed the PIP Agreement must submit disputes to arbitration if:
  • The dispute arises from the pursuit of direct action recovery rights or loss transfer created through claim or benefit payments to insureds or other parties under a state automobile no-fault law.
  • The amount in dispute is within the limits established under the law of the state. The parties to the dispute are insurers or qualified self-insurers under the state's no-fault law; and
  • The dispute does not involve a claim for recovery rights to which one of the disputing insurers asserts a defense of lack of coverage other than delayed notice, no notice or noncooperation (except where statute differs).
