Hurt on the job. PIP?

[coolslice]

I was hurt on the package car last month and will likely be off for 2 or 3 months. Everyone has told me that I need to file for PIP insurance. The problem is nobody knows who pays it or how to file for it, but everyone swears it exists. The union says it isn't them, and Liberty Mutual says it's not them either.

Does anyone have any insight? It would be greatly appreciated.

What is PIP insurance?

You should be on workers' compensation.

What state?

This is in KY. I am on workers comp, but I'm told this is supplemental. It is supposed to be for injuries in the package car. It is supposed to amount to roughly an extra $200 per week that is paid in a lump sum when you return to work. I know of people that have received it, but their injuries were over 10 years ago.

You would have had to buy it before you were hurt.

Yes, you do get that, know several people who have gotten that. Have no idea how they went about getting it, but probably something sup has to put in.

You may be covered on your personal insurance

PIP (personal injury protection) is offered to you by the insurer of your personal car, State farm, etc. It is offered to you when you buy your insurance and is an extension of your policy.. You can approve or decline it. Sometimes the agent just adds it to your policy since it is extremely inexpensive. You have to call your agent to see if you have it or not. If you were injured while driving (it hasn't got to be your personal car) You may be eligible for PIP. You have to provide a certain number of paystubs to prove how much you make, and if you are covered, they will pay your lost salary. I used it for an injury I sustained while driving a feeder. The amount of money you receive is a set amount specified in your policy. Good luck to you.

Is this only in certain states? Never heard of it.

Tx is correct. PIP is thru your own car insurance

I have read that it is tied into your personal auto insurance, but the guys in my center that have claimed it said they are certain it wasn't their insurance policy that covered it. I will check with my personal insurance, but from what I've been told this is something different.

Most insurance (local) will not know this. You need to tell Them to look into it specifically. Mine was surprised
