I got hurt in a car accident that unfortunately I was blamed for causing because I made an unsafe left turn. I had a lot of damage done to my car as a result of the car accident. Will a medical payments claim cover my injuries if I was at fault in a car accident or am I out of luck?




Answer:
The answer to your question depends on the type of coverage you have. If you have personal injury protection (PIP) or medical injury protection, then your injury will likely be covered. Personal injury protection is required in no fault states (there are 12 no fault states in the US) and is an optional purchase in other jurisdictions. You should contact your auto insurance carrier and/or a car accident attorney to determine what coverage, if any, you may be entitled to.
Talk to a Car Accident Lawyer if you're having trouble getting the compensation you're entitled to.
