Alice,

 Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for medical expenses and lost wages for you and your passengers who are injured in an accident. It also covers funeral costs. PIP is required in 16 states. Do you need it? If you have good health insurance and disability insurance, you can skip PIP or buy only the minimum amount if it’s required.
