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?
The coverage limit refers to the maximum amount that will be paid per person, per accident. If selected, all vehicles on a policy must carry the same Medical Payment limits.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury
Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury is an optional coverage that compensates you for excess
wage loss and pain and suffering. This coverage only applies if a hit-and-run
vehicle or uninsured motorist strikes you. If you select this coverage, the
same coverage limits will apply to all vehicles on the policy. The chosen
limits for this coverage cannot exceed the selected Bodily Injury limits.
Who's covered?
If the covered individuals are injured in an accident caused by a driver who has no insurance or insufficient coverage, compensatory damages will be covered. This coverage provides benefits to the policyholder, other authorized policy members, and passengers.
How much protection does this coverage provide?
The dual coverage limits you see in your quote refer to the maximum amount that will be paid per person, per incident, respectively.
If the other driver is uninsured, this coverage can generally pay up to the limit you purchase. If the driver is underinsured, this coverage typically pays the difference between what’s covered by the other driver's insurance and what’s covered by your bodily injury coverage.
