An Act relative to personal injury protection, benefits due and payable.
This bill modifies insurance payment rules for personal injury claims in Massachusetts. It requires insurers to pay the full amount owed within 30 days of a lawsuit being filed to avoid paying the plaintiff's attorney fees. The change directly affects injury victims (plaintiffs) and insurance companies involved in disputes over compensation. If insurers pay promptly within this timeframe, courts cannot award legal fees against them, encouraging faster resolution without litigation.
