Automobile policy.

There are two major automobile exposures for which individuals seek
protection under the Massachusetts Automobile Policy.

| 1. |
People want to be protected against their liability (legal responsibility) should they
physically injure someone, Bodily Injury or damage someone else's property, Property Damage,
through the use of their automobile. The MA Auto Policy provides protection for these types
of losses. These coverages are referred to as liability coverages or third party coverages since they provide insurance for the benefit of a third party as a result of the insured's
negligent actions in the auto accident. |
 |
| 2. |
People also want to make sure they are protected regardless of who is at fault if they, their
household members or their passengers are injured in an accident and if their own auto is
damaged in an accident or sustains damage in a fire, theft, etc. The MA Auto Policy provides
protection for these types of losses. These coverages are called first party coverages since
they provide insurance for the direct benefit of the insured. Personal Injury Protection and Medical Payments provide protection to the insured, household members and passengers for their
medical expenses or lost wages due to injuries. There are five coverages available to cover
damages or loss to the insured's vehicle referred to as physical damage coverages. These five
coverages are shown below:
Collision
Limited Collision
Comprehensive
Substitute Transportation
Towing and Labor

There are also two first party coverages that provide the insured with protection for injuries sustained as the result of an accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured auto. Both
of these coverages are dependent on the "other auto" being legally responsible for the
accident. |

accident or suffers other types of damages, such as fire or theft. |
