Personal Injury Protection

At Lydecker | Diaz, our lawyers are at the forefront of the ever-evolving law governing no-fault personal injury protection (PIP) insurance policies in Florida. We regularly handle a high-volume caseload, ensuring that our clients receive the cost benefits of similarities between cases. At the same time, we recognize that each case is its own matter, and craft individualized solutions when appropriate on the facts of a given case. As a result, we can fine-tune the handling of specific cases to meet the needs of each client. We feature a full-service PIP department with years of experience investigating, advising on, and litigating PIP claims. Our attorneys continually remain abreast of the frequent changes in the PIP Statute and case law, enabling us to offer accurate and updated advice to our clients. For instance, we are often called upon by carriers to coordinate pre-suit investigations of PIP claims, and have conducted hundreds of examinations under oath (EUOs) of PIP insureds. We routinely advise clients on complex PIP coverage issues regarding commercial vehicles as well as out-of-state policies, accidents, and automobiles. The attorneys in our PIP department have further amassed considerable experience defending PIP lawsuits based on improper provider licensing, improper supervision, untimely billing, material misrepresentation, fraud, failure to cooperate, failure of conditions precedent, exhaustion of policy benefits, and a host of other issues.
