TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday sided with Allstate Insurance Co. in an attempt to fend off a potential class-action lawsuit about limiting payments for care after people are injured in auto accidents.

The court’s 23-page ruling came amid numerous legal battles in recent years between insurers and health-care providers about payments under the state’s personal-injury protection, or PIP, auto-insurance system.

Revival Chiropractic, LLC, filed the potential class-action lawsuit alleging that Allstate short-changed it on payments for treating two Allstate policyholders. A federal district judge agreed with Revival, leading Allstate to appeal to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
