    Optional Alabama Liability Coverages

     

    Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury Coverage
    The limits for this coverage cannot exceed the limits you select for your bodily injury coverage. Also, if you want to carry this coverage on multiple vehicles, the limits must be the same for each vehicle.

    If you’re injured in an accident caused by a driver who has no insurance coverage, uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage covers the following expenses:

  • Medical
  • Lost wages
  • Other general damages
  • Injuries sustained in hit-and-run accidents
  • Uninsured motorist bodily injury provides coverage to the policyholder, authorized policy members, and passengers.

    Medical Payments
    Medical payments coverage pays for medical and dental treatment, hospitalization, professional nursing services, prostheses, and funeral expenses if a covered driver and/or accompanying passengers are injured while in an insured vehicle, regardless of who is at fault in the accident.

    Medical payments may also cover policyholders and their family members when they're injured while riding in someone else's car or if a car hits them while on foot or bicycling.

    If you and your regular passengers already have health insurance that covers similar expenses, medical payments coverage may be unnecessary. Check your health insurance policy for details.

    How much protection does this coverage provide?
