H 3992 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to trials for personal injuries involving a motor vehicle accident

This bill (HD 3348) changes how personal injury protection (PIP) insurance payments are handled in car accident trials. It requires courts to disclose to juries the amount of PIP benefits paid by an insurer to an injured person, along with the fact that those payments must be repaid. The court must then automatically deduct this amount from any jury award for damages. This directly affects people suing for injuries in car accidents and their insurance companies, altering how compensation is calculated during trials.
