“No-Fault” means that there will be insurance coverage to pay for medical treatment for injuries sustained regardless of the fault of the party injured. This is separate and apart from the claim for pain and suffering that the injured person can make against the insurance of the party who caused the accident.
Filing a claim for no fault benefits must be done within 30 days after an accident. Our law firm will handle the entire claim process for you, including identifying the insurance of the negligent party and notifying that insurance also. Very often, your own car insurance pays the no fault benefits in the first instance, but can claim them back from the “tortfeasor” (party who caused the accident).
Even though you have an insurance company, remember that they do not represent you and only they will pay benefits required under your contract of insurance.
In all instances you should consult with an attorney to help you file the correct no-fault claims with the right companies, and to fill out the forms properly.
