How PIP Works in Tennessee

Medical Bills

Hospital, Surgery, Rehab

Lost Wages

Income While Recovering

Funeral Costs

Death Benefit

No Fault

Pays Regardless of Blame

PIP is sometimes called "no-fault coverage" because it pays out regardless of who caused the accident. Unlike liability insurance (which pays the other driver), PIP pays you and your passengers. This means faster medical care without waiting for an insurance determination.
