Bodily Injury Liability

This coverage pays medical, loss of income, and related expenses the insured is responsible for due to an act of negligence involving an automobile. For example, if the insured runs a stop sign and hits an oncoming vehicle, injuring an occupant, the bodily injury portion of the coverage pays the injured third party. Bodily injury coverage may be expressed in split or single limits. Split limits may be written as 25,000/50,000 and is translated as coverage that will pay up to $25,000 per person to a maximum of $50,000 per accident. A single limit of $50,000 pays up to $50,000 for any one accident with no per person limit.

This coverage pays a third party for damage to his or her property caused by the negligence of the insured. This includes negligently damaging someone else’s automobile or running into someone’s house.

Property Damage Liability

Medical Payments Coverage or Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Collision Insurance

Towing pays for the cost of towing the vehicle due to mechanical breakdown, getting stuck in weather, or an accident. Rental reimbursement pays the cost of a rental car for the insured while an insured vehicle is being repaired.
