That is true. Most third party carriers will not advance payment for wage loss or medical bills. They only pay when the case is settled. If you had Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medpay on your personal auto policy, that coverage will pay your wage loss and medical bills (up to your limits) now. When your case settles, your company will attempt to get whatever they paid back from the third party carrier. Making a PIP claim should not affect your premium rates.
