Monetarythreshold Jurisdictions

Certain states that have no fault laws allow a liability claim against the person at fault whenever the injured person has medical expenses over a certain limit.

Under this program, a Phoenix personal injury attorney would initially establish that a medical expense threshold is established and then the personal injury attorney would be free to file a regular liability claim against those that are at fault for their client's accident. Expenses that count towards reaching the said threshold include professional health services, physical therapy, chiropractic care and dental work. In addition, expenses counting against the threshold would include more traditional services normally covered under medical insurance such as doctor, nursing, laboratory, ambulance, hospital and clinic related expenses.

On occasion, the insurance company involved in establishing cost thresholds may reject said establishment of a threshold of costs, stating that at least some of the costs were not necessary. Accordingly, the monetary threshold can be reached only by counting covered medical expenses that are "necessary."

Under the monetary thresholds version of personal injury protection or no fault insurance, an insurance company could reject the claims process. The insurance company could claim that after subtracting the "unnecessary medical expenses," the accident victim and insured is prohibited to file a liability claim.
