The bill amends Section 34M of Chapter 90 regarding personal injury protection benefits. It introduces new language that clarifies that benefits are due and payable "whether in whole or in part," ensuring that claimants understand their entitlement to benefits regardless of the amount.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the court shall not assess attorneys' fees or costs if the insurer tenders the amount due and payable to the plaintiff within thirty days of service of the summons and complaint. This provision aims to encourage timely settlements and reduce unnecessary legal expenses for both parties involved in personal injury claims.
