Neck pain. Back pain. I didn’t hurt before! Now I have to get a rental car, find a new car, I still have to work but it hurts do anything. What do I do?
Find a Certified Specialist
The first thing anyone should do after an accident is find a Certified Motor Vehicle Occupant Injury Specialist physician and to help you on your road to recovery. (877) 7-whiplash The right physician can not only help you get feeling better fast but properly document you case for the insurance or the attorney.
Who pays?
Utah is a “No-fault” state meaning we all have a portion of our insurance called “Personal Injury Protection” that covers our initial medical expenses. Everyone who is insured in Utah has a minimum of $3000 in PIP. Auto insurance pays 100%. Regardless of who is at fault, your own PIP covers the initial medical expenses. Getting checked and using your PIP insurance does not raise you monthly premiums. So really, there is no reason to wait to get checked after an accident by a CERTIFIED Motor Vehicle Occupant Injury Specialist. CMVOIS are different from ER doctors.
Will I need an Attorney?
If the auto accident was not your fault it is definitely a good idea to talk with a CERTIFIED personal injury specialist attorney. The consultation is FREE. Personal Injury attorneys do not charge retainers or up-front fees like typical attorneys. Also, if your insurance is being difficult and not paying from your PIP, an attorney can help the insurance company remember their legal responsibility to take care of you after an accident.
What About My Car and a Rental Car?
Most insurance policies have coverage to supply a replacement rental car for a short time. However, many of the “pick a payment” and inexpensive on-line insurance companies take “car rental” out of the policy to save a few bucks on the monthly fee.
Under certain conditions The Utah Whiplash Group will provide/reimburse for a rental car. Typically we allow one week to patients and clients as our gift to make sure you have the piece of mind in having transportation to get the day-to-day details worked out following an auto accident.
