Bodily Injury Liability
Pays damages for other people's injuries or death resulting from an at-fault accident, including medical treatment, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. Insufficient coverage may put your personal assets and earnings at risk. The first figure is the maximum amount we will pay for injury or death to any one person. The second figure is the maximum we will pay (regardless of the number of people involved) for injury or death resulting from a single occurrence.

Pays for damage to other people's property (such as vehicles, shrubs, signs, or buildings) resulting from an at-fault accident. If you do not carry sufficient coverage, your personal assets and earnings could be at risk.

Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury
Pays you, your household relatives, and passengers in your insured motor vehicle for damages resulting from bodily injury or death arising out of accidents caused by uninsured motorists and, in most states, by hit-and-run motorists. These limits must equal your Bodily Injury liability limits unless you specifically request lower limits in writing. The first figure is the maximum amount we will pay for injury or death of any one person. The second figure is the maximum we will pay (regardless of the number of people involved) for injury or death stemming from a single occurrence. UMBI coverage and availability varies from state to state; see your policy contract for details.
Pays damages you are legally entitled to recover because of damage to your insured vehicle caused by uninsured or hit-and-run motorists. You must carry this coverage at the same limit as your Property Damage liability coverage unless specifically requested at a lower limit in writing.

UMPD coverage is not available in all states; see your policy contract for details.
