Medical Payments
Medical payments is an optional coverage in Nevada that 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 are
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 Nevada health
insurance policy for details.
The auto insurance coverage limit refers to the maximum amount that will be paid per person, per accident.
Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury
If you choose to have uninsured motorist bodily injury on your Nevada policy and you
want it to apply to multiple cars, you must select the same limit for each car. Also,
the limits you choose must be less than, or equal to, your bodily injury limits.
If the covered individuals are injured in an accident caused by a driver who has
no insurance, compensatory damages that a policyholder is entitled to receive, will
be covered.
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.
How much protection does this coverage provide?
The dual coverage limits you see in your Nevada auto insurance 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 limits you purchase are lower than an accident's costs,
you’ll be responsible for paying the amount over your limits, unless you’re
covered by health insurance.
Uninsured Motorist Property Damage
If you decide to carry this coverage on your Nevada auto insurance policy, you
must also purchase uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage. To obtain Uninsured
Motorist Property Damage on multiple vehicles, you must purchase the same limits
for each vehicle.
Uninsured motorist property damage coverage protects your car if it’s damaged in an
accident caused by a driver who has no insurance or insufficient coverage
How much protection does this coverage provide?
If the other driver is uninsured, this coverage pays up to the limit you select. If
the other driver involved in an accident is underinsured, this coverage pays the
difference between the cost of your damages and the other driver’s property damage
coverage limit.
When you purchase this coverage, you need to select a deductible.
