Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance

 In most cases you have insurance that will cover your treatment including the emergency room, diagnostic testing, chiropractic and massage.  Washington state law mandates that every insured driver is offered personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. You can refuse the coverage but you must sign a release form documenting your refusal of coverage.  The WA state insurance commissioner web site has useful information regarding your insurance options and what to do in case of an accident.  

 

We will work with your (PIP) insurance plan .  We will verify coverage and file the claim.  These insurance plans include State Farm, Allstate, Geico, Progressive, Farmers, American Family, Pemco, National, Safeco, Dairyland, Financial Indemnity, Guaranty National, Infinity, Leader, and Nationwide.
