Florida justices back insurer on ‘PIP’ payments
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday sided with Allstate Insurance Co. in an attempt to fend off a potential class-action lawsuit about limiting payments for care after people are injured in auto accidents.
The court’s 23-page ruling came amid numerous legal battles in recent years between insurers and health-care providers about payments under the state’s personal-injury protection, or PIP, auto-insurance system.
