Medical and Funeral Service Payments
Medical and funeral service payments is an optional auto insurance coverage 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 and funeral service 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
Colorado health insurance policy for details.
The 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
Colorado 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 auto insurance or insufficient coverage, compensatory damages that a
policyholder is entitled to receive, will be covered.
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 Colorado 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 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.
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.
