Personal Injury Protection:
In those states that have "no-fault" insurance, this coverage will generally pay for medical benefits, lost wages and a death benefit in case of an accident involving your automobile, without regard to who caused the accident. This coverage is required in those states with "no fault" insurance laws but required limits and benefits vary by state.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage:
