No-Fault Coverage
If you are in an accident, no-fault insurance allows you to be reimbursed for
certain expenses by your own insurance company, no matter which driver was at
fault. Depending on the state you live in, no-fault insurance may be required
(also called "compulsory") or optional. Most states have a combination of
required and optional coverage options.
Each state's coverage is different. Click on your state to learn about the coverage
available in your state. If you do not see your state name, either it does not have
no-fault insurance, or we do not write insurance in that state.
