No Fault Benefits Resources
Application for No-Fault Benefits
The law requires that certain information be supplied to the no-fault carrier within one year of the accident. Generally, the law requires an identification of where, when, and who was injured; a description of the nature of the injury; and a claim for no-fault benefits. A standard application for benefits form (which can be obtained through the Department of Insurance and Financial Information or through any insurance company) can be used to apply for benefits. The form requests all of the factual information required by statute to be provided to the no-fault insurer. If the application for benefits with the appropriate information is not submitted to the insurer within one year of the date of the accident, the individual's claim for no-fault benefits is forever barred. If a question arises regarding who should receive the no-fault application for benefits, a claimant is well advised to give the written application for benefits to each insurance company that may be responsible to pay no-fault benefits.
