State legislation this week filed Sen. Joe Negron was designed to crack down on scams that lead to more expensive personal injury insurance cover required all Florida drivers.
Two proposals PIP (HB and HB 119 523) submitted by the members of the House in November.
With so many parties involved, lawmakers have failed for the past 15 years in finding fixes for the problem of PIP. Trial lawyers, insurance companies and other providers of health care services are among those who tried to restore some of their costs covered in car injury.
Negron, R-Stuart, wanted to close the loopholes that currently there are licenses to clinics and setting the schedule of fees for replacement costs. It will also modernize current systems for bill payment. Her measure also would give the hospital stands in the PIP claims priority. The hospital is usually the first to give treatment after a car accident.
