The state of Massachusetts follows a No-Fault
system meaning your insurance company will make payments for
your injury claims regardless of fault, up to a specified limit.
You should be aware that the details of a no-fault system vary
from state to state and it is best to check with your state
insurance regulator. Visit our
State
Insurance Regulators page for a list of links to all the
state insurance regulators websites.
Massachusetts state law requires minimum
Bodily Injury Liability coverage of $20,000 per injured person
up to a total of $40,000 per accident, and Property Damage
Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $5,000. This basic
coverage is often referred to as 20/40/5 coverage.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in your
coverage helps pay for "reasonable and necessary" medical
expenses for you and your passengers. Massachusetts state law
requires a minimum Personal Injury Protection coverage of
$8,000.
Additionally, you can get
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage for any bodily injury
caused by an uninsured driver. While Massachusetts state law
does not require this coverage, you can purchase this as an
optional coverage for added protection.
