What is PIP (Personal Injury Protection) Coverage?

Carrollton Car Accident Lawyer
Written By Carrollton Injury Lawyer Joel Hudson

PIP coverage, which stands for Personal Injury Protection, is insurance coverage that will pay for costs related to injuries from a car accident for you and your passengers, regardless of who is at fault. In Texas, it’s required that at least $2,500 in PIP coverage be offered to drivers, but you can opt for higher coverage.

PIP coverage can be used for:

  • Medical treatment

  • Lost wages

  • Funeral expenses

 

Why is PIP Coverage Important?

PIP coverage kicks in no matter who is at fault for an accident. You can claim PIP coverage for your injuries if you caused the accident, or if you were hit by a driver who fled the scene. Check your policy now to be sure you have PIP coverage, and talk to your insurance agent about whether you have enough coverage.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I’m Joel Hudson, the founder of Carrollton Injury Law, located at 4221 Medical Pkwy, Suite 300, Carrollton, TX 75010.

With over 25 years of experience practicing personal injury law, I’ve built my firm on a simple belief: there’s a better way to handle injury claims. It starts with treating you like a person—not a number—and continues with consistent communication throughout your entire case. You can reach me directly at (972) 360-9898 to discuss your situation—I’m here to listen.

I’ve seen how a single injury can ripple through every part of your life, affecting not just you but your family too. That’s why my approach is different. At Carrollton Injury Law, we don’t just chase settlements; we focus on you. I’ve found that giving clients the extra attention many Dallas law firms overlook leads to happier clients, smoother dealings with adjusters who appreciate the updates, and, ultimately, higher injury settlements in less time. My clients often call me the “personal” attorney because we care about maximizing your recovery while also helping you navigate the disruptions a car accident or injury brings—whether it’s medical bills, lost work, or simply getting back to normal.

I earned my Juris Doctor from Texas A&M University School of Law in 1998, after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Business at Texas Christian University in 1992. Since being admitted to practice in Texas in 1998, I’ve dedicated my career to fighting for injury victims across the state.

At Carrollton Injury Law, we live by our motto: “We put Personal back into Personal Injury Law.” It’s not just a tagline—it’s how we work, every day, for every client.

If you’re ready to talk about your injury claim or just need some guidance, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m here to help you take the first step toward justice and recovery.
