What is bodily injury liability insurance coverage?
Bodily injury liability insurance is an auto coverage that helps protect your finances if you cause an accident. It covers medical expenses, lost wages and legal fees related to third-party injuries.
How Bodily Injury Liability Insurance Protects You
If you cause an accident, you're responsible for others' accident-related expenses. Learn more about how bodily injury liability insurance helps cover those costs from the following examples.
At-Fault Accidents with a Pedestrian
A jogger darts out in front of your car while you're driving to work. You slam on your brakes immediately but bump into them, and they sustain minor injuries. Bodily injury liability insurance can help cover the pedestrian's resulting medical expenses when you’re at fault in an accident.*
Defense Costs and Medical Expenses
You rear-end the car in front of you, and the driver sustains neck injuries. Unfortunately, they need long-term care and sue you for their pain and suffering. Bodily injury insurance can help cover the other driver's medical expenses and the costs your insurance provider may pay to defend you.*
