Examining Your Insurance Policies For Favorable Terms

Many pedestrians do not know it, but they may have, in addition to the other person’s liability policy, three other possible sources of compensation if they have automobile insurance:

  • The injured person’s own personal injury protection (PIP) policy
  • The other driver’s PIP policy
  • The injured person’s own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy
