    District of Columbia PIP

    District PIPThe D.C. code has a unique provision regarding PIP benefits. Often a claimant must choose under D.C. law whether to pursue a PIP claim or a personal injury claim against the at fault driver. They may not be able to do both depending upon the seriousness of the injury. Thus, an initial decision needs to be made whether the liability part of the claim is good enough to forego the PIP claim. The decision usually needs to be made within 60 days of the accident. There are special circumstances that an experienced personal injury attorney should understand depending on whether the D.C. policy applies in a Maryland accident and the same choices need to be made. Moreover, there are ways to make both a D.C. PIP claim and a liability claim against the at fault driver under the right circumstances, most of which involve serious injury, scarring and large medical bills. Regardless, the decision whether to select D.C. PIP or a liability claim must be made with all the considerations in mind. The experienced District of Columbia car accident lawyer can assist you in the determination of which claim to make.
