Key Concepts

No-Fault Auto Insurance

No-fault auto insurance is a system in which each driver’s own insurance company covers their respective losses and medical expenses regardless of who caused the accident. This simplifies the claims process and reduces the need for litigation over fault and damages.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a component of no-fault insurance that pays for medical expenses and, in many policies, additional costs like lost wages following an accident. It ensures that injured parties receive prompt medical care without having to determine liability.

Medical Expense Coverage

Medical expense coverage refers to the benefits provided under an auto insurance policy that cover expenses such as hospital stays and treatments. In a no-fault system, each driver’s own insurance policy typically pays for their medical costs regardless of which driver was at fault.
