How are accident benefits different from lawsuit damages? by Patricia Santucci
Unlike damages from a lawsuit, accident benefits are provided regardless of who was at fault for the accident. You do not need to sue anyone to obtain accident benefits. A lawsuit involves suing the driver responsible for your accident to help you recover any damages that aren’t covered by accident benefits. Therefore you may have two claims: an accident benefits claim (against your own insurance company) and a tort claim (against the at-fault driver).
