QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON NO-FAULT INSURANCE
Question: I receive free medical benefits. Does that mean I can never sue?
Injuries from accidents occur in many different settings. Sometimes the injuries arise from an automobile or motorcycle accident, other times they may occur as the result of a dangerous condition on another person's property or perhaps from the use of a product which malfunctions or is improperly designed. In the worst of circumstances, injuries can result in the wrongful death of a person leaving behind surviving family members to deal with the emotional and financial losses caused by the wrongful death.

Answer
No. The medical threshold is based on the value of the medical treatments, not on the amount that you actually paid. This could even include the value of benefits provided by a family member that would normally be performed by a nurse or other professional.
