Medical Coverage and Your Auto Insurance

Hi. I’m Joyce Novotny-Prettiman from QuatriniRafferty and I’m here to give you a tip for our Legal Tip Tuesday. In regard to Auto Insurance, keep in mind that in Pennsylvania you have to purchase $5,000 of medical coverage. Most people don’t know that you can purchase more and it’s not terribly expensive. The reason you might want to consider doing that is if you’re in an Auto Accident and you’re injured, when you get to collecting a settlement on your Personal Injury case, many times your private health insurance can come back into that settlement to collect the bills that they’ve paid. So if you have more insurance on your own auto coverage, you’ll save yourself from that interesting situation.
