Auto Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage provides financial protection for medical expenses and, in some cases, other related expenses resulting from a car accident, regardless of who was at fault. PIP coverage is typically associated with no-fault insurance states, where each driver's insurance company is responsible for covering their medical expenses and those of their passengers, regardless of who caused the accident.

It is important to understand that PIP coverage requirements and regulations vary by state. Some states may require drivers to have PIP coverage, while others offer it as an optional add-on to their auto insurance policies.
