Does Tennessee Have PIP Coverage?

Posted on February 11, 2011 by John Day

I was hurt in a car wreck.  I used to live in Kentucky and we had PIP coverage.  Is there PIP coverage in Tennessee?

Answer: No. Tennessee does not have a no-fault system and therefore does not have PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage as a part of automobile or truck liability insurance policies issued in Tennessee.   So, if your bought your auto insurance coverage after you moved to Tennessee you do not have PIP coverage.

Note to those people who  live in a state that has no-fault and PIP coverage and who are injured in a wreck in Tennessee:  your insurance policy may give you benefits not available to Tennessee residents. If you are from out-of-state but were injury in a car or truck wreck in Tennessee, the attorneys at Law Offices of John Day P.C. will be happy to review your insurance policy and determine what benefits it provides under the circumstances.
