An Act relative to personal injury protection payments

This bill amends Massachusetts law governing personal injury protection (PIP) payments in auto insurance. It clarifies that insurers must pay PIP benefits either in full or partial amounts, and adds a key provision: if an insurer pays the full amount owed within 30 days of receiving a lawsuit (after the summons and complaint are served), courts cannot award the plaintiff attorney fees or court costs. The bill directly affects auto insurers and individuals filing personal injury claims after accidents. This change incentivizes insurers to pay claims promptly to avoid additional legal expenses.
