It insures you and your auto for the period shown on the Coverage Selections Page. As long as you pay your premium, we agree to provide you or others the benefits to which you or they are entitled. The exact terms and conditions are explained in the following pages. There are two basic categories of insurance described in this policy, Compulsory and Optional. Compulsory Optional There are four Parts to Compulsory. They are all required by law. Every auto registered in Massachusetts must have them. There are eight Parts to Optional. Some of them extend the coverage or the amounts of protection provided by Compulsory. Some of them provide protection not found in Compulsory. You do not have to buy any of these eight Parts if you do not want to. Auto insurance claims arise in hundreds of different ways. Autos are sometimes stolen or damaged. Accidents may injure people in your auto, people in other autos or pedestrians. You may be responsible for an accident or someone else may be. An accident may happen in Massachusetts or out of state. Different situations require different kinds of insurance. Please read the whole policy to see what kinds of insurance are available to cover these different situations. At the same time, you should check the Coverage Selections Page to make sure it correctly indicates the coverages you purchased. Each coverage you purchased will show a premium charge next to it. If no premium charge is shown, you do not have that coverage. Sometimes you and we will agree to change this policy. The only way that can be done is by an Endorsement added to the basic policy form. All endorsements must be in writing. They then become part of this policy. We are pleased to have you as a customer and hope you have a safe and accident-free year. But if you need us, we are here to help you. If you have an accident or loss, or if someone sues you, contact your agent or us. Do the same if you have any questions or complaints. If you think we have treated you unfairly at any time, you may contact the Division of, (617)4 2 Definitions Throughout this policy: 1. We, Us or Our refers to the company issuing this policy. 2. You or Your refers to the person(s) named in Item 1 of the Coverage Selections Page. 3. Accident means an unexpected, unintended event that causes bodily injury or property damage arising out of the owner- ship, maintenance or use of an auto. 4. Auto means a land motor vehicle or trailer but does not include: A. Any vehicle operated on rails or crawler treads. B. Any vehicle or trailer while it is located for use as a residence or premises. We will consider such a vehicle to be an auto while it is being used on public roads, or for recreational use. C. A farm tractor or other equipment designed for use principally off public roads. We will consider a tractor or other equipment to be an auto while it is being used on public roads. D. Any vehicle not subject to Massachusetts Motor Vehicle registration such as a moped, dirt bike, mini-bike, snowmobile or an all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Other words and phrases are defined. They are in boldface when used. 5. Your Auto means: A. The vehicle or vehicles described on the Coverage Selections Page. B. Any auto while used as a temporary substitute for the described auto while that auto is out of normal use because of a breakdown, repair, servicing, loss or destruction. But the term your auto does not include a substitute vehicle owned by you or your spouse. C. A private passenger auto, trailer, motorcycle, pick-up truck, van or similar vehicle, to which you take title or lease as a permanent replacement for a described auto or as an additional auto. We provide coverage for an additional auto only if you ask us to insure it within seven days after you take title or the effective date of the lease. If a replacement or additional auto is a pick-up truck, van or similar vehicle, it must have a gross vehicle weight of less than 10,000 pounds and not be used for the delivery or transportation of goods or materials5 3 unless such use is incidental to your business of installing, maintaining or repairing furnishings or equipment. Under Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 the term your auto also includes any trailer not described on the Coverage Selections Page as covered under those Parts. 6. Trailer means a vehicle designed to be pulled by a private passenger auto, motorcycle, pick-up truck, van, or similar vehicle and designed for use on public roads. This includes a farm wagon or a farm implement. 7. Occupying means in, upon, entering into, or getting out of. 8. Collision means the accidental upset of your auto or any physical contact of your auto with another object. 9. Household Member means anyone living in your household who is related to you by blood, marriage or adoption. This includes wards, step-children or foster children. 10. Pedestrian includes anyone incurring bodily injury as a result of being struck by an auto in an accident and who is not occupying an auto at the time of the accident. Our Agreement This policy is a legal contract under Massachusetts law. Because this is an auto policy, it only covers accidents and losses which result from the ownership, maintenance or use of autos. The exact protection is determined by the coverages you purchased. We agree to provide the insurance protection you purchased for accidents which happen while this policy is in force. You agree to pay premiums when due and to cooperate with us in case of accidents or claims. Our contract consists of this policy, the Coverage Selections Page, any endorsements agreed upon, and your application for insurance. Oral promises or statements made by you or our agent are not part of this policy. There are many laws of Massachusetts relating to automobile insurance. We and you must and do agree that, when those laws apply, they are part of this policy.6 4 Compulsory Part 1. Bodily Injury To Others There are four Parts to Compulsory. They are called Compulsory because Massachusetts law requires you to buy all of them before you can register your auto. No law requires you to buy more than this Compulsory. However, if you have financed your auto, the bank or finance company may legally insist that you have some Optional as a condition of your loan. The amount of your coverage and the cost of each Part is shown on the Coverage Selections Page. Your Compulsory does not pay for any damage to your auto no matter what happens to it. Under this Part, we will pay damages to people injured or killed by your auto in Massachusetts accidents. The damages we will pay are the amounts the injured person is entitled to collect for bodily injury through a court judgment or settlement. We will pay only if you or someone else using your auto with your consent is legally responsible for the accident. The most we will pay for injuries to one or more persons as a result of bodily injury to any one person in any one accident is $20,000. Subject to this $20,000 limit, the most we will pay for injuries to two or more people as the result of bodily injury to two or more people in any one accident is $40,000. This is the most we will pay as the result of a single accident no matter how many autos or premiums are shown on the Coverage Selections Page. We will not pay: 1. For injuries to guest occupants of your auto. 2. For accidents outside of Massachusetts or in places in Massachusetts where the public has no right of access. 3. For injuries to any employees of the legally responsible person if they are entitled to Massachusetts workers compensation benefits. The law provides a special protection for anyone entitled to damages under this Part. We must pay their claims even if false statements were made when applying for this policy or your auto registration. We must also pay even if you or the legally responsible person fails to cooperate with us after the accident. We will, however, be entitled to reimbursement from the person who did not cooperate or who made any false statements. If a claim is covered by us and also by another company authorized to sell auto insurance in Massachusetts, we will pay only our proportionate share. If someone covered under this Part is using an auto he or she does not own at the time of the accident, the owner s7 Compulsory 5 Part 2. Personal Injury Protection auto insurance must pay its limits before we pay. Then, we will pay, up to the limits shown on your Coverage Selections Page, for any damages not covered by that insurance. The benefits under this Part are commonly known as PIP or No- Fault benefits. It makes no difference who is legally responsible for the accident. We will pay the benefits described below to you and other people injured or killed in auto accidents. For any one accident, we will pay as many people as are injured, but the most we will pay for injuries to any one person is $8,000. This is the most we will pay no matter how many autos or premiums are shown on the Coverage Selections Page. We will pay three kinds of benefits: A. Medical Expenses We will pay all reasonable expenses incurred as a result of the accident for necessary medical, surgical, X-ray and dental services. This includes prosthetic devices. It also includes ambulance, hospital, professional nursing and funeral services. B. Lost Wages If an injured person is out of work because of the accident, we will pay lost wages up to 75% of his or her average weekly gross wage or equivalent for the year ending on the day immediately before the accident. We will not pay for the loss of any other type of income. If the injured person was unemployed at the time of the accident, we will pay up to 75% of the amount he or she actually lost in earning power as a result of the accident. C. Replacement Services We will reimburse the injured person for reasonable payments made to anyone outside his or her household for necessary services that he or she would have performed without pay for the benefit of the household, had he or she not been injured. We will pay PIP benefits to or for: 1. You, or any other person, if injured while occupying your auto with your consent. 2. You, or anyone living in your household, if injured while occupying an auto which does not have Massachusetts Compulsory or if struck by an auto which does not have Massachusetts Compulsory 3. Any pedestrian, including you, if struck by your auto in8 6 Compulsory Massachusetts or any Massachusetts resident who, while a pedestrian, is struck by your auto outside of Massachusetts. Benefits are paid only for expenses or losses actually incurred within two years after the accident. If the accident is in Massachusetts, or if it is outside Massachusetts and the injured person does not sue for damages, we will pay benefits within a reasonable time usually thirty days. If the accident is outside Massachusetts and the injured person does sue, then we can wait for a settlement or judgment before paying benefits. Some people have a wage continuation program at work. If so, we will pay them only the difference between the total we would ordinarily pay under this Part and the amount of the program payments. We will, however, reimburse the program if it allows benefits to be converted into cash or additional retirement credit. Sometimes program benefits are reduced or used up because of payments to the person injured in an accident. In that case, we will pay for lost wages resulting from any other illness or injury that person has within one year of our last payment. The exact amount of our payments under this paragraph will be determined by Massachusetts law. Some people have a policy of health, sickness, or disability insurance or a contract or agreement with a group, organization partnership or corporation to provide, pay for, or reimburse the cost of medical expenses ( health plan ). If so, we will pay up to $2,000 of medical expenses for any injured person. We will also pay medical expenses in excess of $2,000 for such injured person which will not be paid by a health plan. Medical expenses must be submitted to the health plan to determine what the health plan will pay before we pay benefits in excess of $2,000 under this Part. We will not pay for medical expenses in excess of $2,000 that the health plan would have paid had the injured person sought treatment in accordance with the requirements of the health plan. In any case, our total payment for medical expenses, lost wages and replacement services will not exceed $8,000. Within two years after an accident, we may, at our option, pay the cost of renewing or continuing in force a policy of health, sickness or disability insurance for anyone covered under this Part who is unwilling or unable to pay such cost. Our payment will not exceed the cost of renewing or continuing such policy for a period of two years after the accident. Also, our payment will not operate to reduce the benefits otherwise payable under this Part.9 Compulsory 7 Part 3. Bodily Injury Caused By An Uninsured Auto We will not pay PIP benefits to or for: 1. Anyone who, at the time of the accident, was operating or occupying a motorcycle, any motor vehicle not subject to motor vehicle registration, or a motorized bicycle, including a moped. 2. Anyone who contributed to his or her injury by operating an auto (a) while under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, or a narcotic drug, (b) while committing a felony or seeking to avoid arrest by a police officer, or (c) with the specific intent of causing injury to himself, herself or others. 3. Anyone who is entitled to benefits under any workers compensation law for the same injury. When you purchased this Part you were given the choice of either excluding yourself, or yourself and household members, from some or all of the PIP coverage. The portion of each claim you may have agreed not to be covered for is called a deductible. You paid a smaller premium if you chose a deductible. In that case, we will only pay up to the difference between $8,000 and the amount of your deductible. The deductible is shown on the Coverage Selections Page. If anyone is entitled to PIP benefits and also to benefits under another Part of this policy, we will pay from this Part first. We will not pay PIP benefits to or for an injured person, to the extent those benefits would duplicate expenses or losses recovered by that person in a court judgment or settlement. If anyone covered under this policy is also entitled to PIP benefits from any other auto policy, the total benefits payable will not be more than the highest amount payable under whichever one of the policies would have paid the most. In that case, each insurer will pay only its proportionate share. We will not pay benefits under this Part which duplicate payments made under the No-Fault coverage of any other auto policy. Sometimes an owner or operator of an auto legally responsible for an accident is uninsured. Some accidents involve unidentified hit-and-run autos. Under this Part, we will pay damages for bodily injury to people injured or killed in certain accidents caused by uninsured or hit-and-run autos. We will pay only if the injured person is legally entitled to recover from the owner or operator of the uninsured or hit-and-run auto. We will pay for hit-and-run accidents only if the owner or operator causing the accident cannot be identified.10 8 Compulsory Sometimes the company insuring the auto responsible for an accident will deny coverage or become insolvent. We consider such an auto to be uninsured for purposes of this Part. However, we do not consider an auto owned by a governmental unit or someone who is legally self-insured to be an uninsured auto. This Part is Compulsory. You must have limits of $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident. However, you may want to buy more protection. If so, we must sell you limits up to $35,000 per person and $80,000 per accident, provided you have purchased at least these limits for Part 5. Higher limits may be purchased if agreed upon by you and by us. We will pay damages to or for: 1. You, while occupying your auto, while occupying an auto you do not own, or if injured as a pedestrian. 2. Any household member, while occupying your auto, while occupying an auto not owned by you or if injured as a pedestrian. If there are two or more policies which provide coverage at the same limits, we will only pay our proportionate share. We will not pay damages to or for any household member who has a Massachusetts auto policy of his or her own or who is covered by any Massachusetts auto policy of another household member providing uninsured auto insurance with higher limits. 3. Anyone else while occupying your auto. We will not pay damages to or for anyone else who has a Massachusetts auto policy of his or her own, or who is covered by any Massachusetts auto policy of another household member providing uninsured auto insurance. 4. Anyone else for damages he or she is entitled to recover because of injury to a person covered under this Part. If you are injured while occupying your auto and you have two or more autos insured with us with different limits, we will only pay up to the limits shown on your Coverage Selections Page for the auto you are occupying when injured. If you are injured as a pedestrian or while occupying an auto you do not own and you have two or more Massachusetts auto policies which provide coverage at different limits, the policy with the higher limits will pay. If there are two or more policies which provide coverage at the same limits, we will only pay our proportionate share. We will not pay damages to or for you, if struck by, or while occupying11 Compulsory 9 an auto you own and which does not have Massachusetts compulsory auto insurance. Likewise, we will not pay damages to or for any household member if struck by, or while occupying an auto owned by that household member which does not have Massachusetts compulsory auto insurance. The most we will pay for damages to or for anyone injured in the following situations is $35,000 per person and $80,000 per accident or the limits you purchased, whichever is less: 1. Anyone injured while occupying your auto while it is being used as a public or livery conveyance. This does not apply to the use of your auto in a share-the-expense car pool arrangement or in an expense reimbursement program either as a volunteer or at work. 2. Anyone injured while using an auto without the consent of the owner. 3. Anyone injured while an auto is being operated in any prearranged or organized racing, speed, stunting or demolition contest or activity or in practice or preparation for any such contest or activity. We will reduce the damages an injured person is entitled to recover by: 1. The amount recovered from any legally responsible person provided the injured person is fully compensated for his or her damages for bodily injury. 2. The amount paid under a workers compensation law or similar law. 3. Any expenses that are payable or would have been payable, except for a deductible, under the PIP coverage of this policy or any other Massachusetts auto policy. We will pay the balance of the damages up to the limits shown for this Part on your Coverage Selections Page. The determination as to whether an injured person is legally entitled to recover damages from the legally responsible owner or operator will be by agreement between us and the injured person. The amount of the damages, if any, will be determined in the same way. Arbitration will be used if no agreement can be reached. However, in no event may a demand for arbitration constitute first notice of claim. We must be given sufficient notice of claim to conduct a reasonable investigation and attempt settlement before arbitration can be filed.12 10 Compulsory Part 4. Damage to Someone Else s Property If an injured person settles a claim as a result of an accident covered under this Part, we will pay that person only if the claim was settled with our consent. We will not be bound under this Part by any judgment resulting from a lawsuit brought without our written consent. We will not, however, unreasonably withhold our consent. The most we will pay for injuries to one or more persons as a result of bodily injury to any one person in any one accident is shown on the Coverage Selections Page as the per person limit. Subject to this limit, the most we will pay for injuries to two or more people as the result of bodily injury to two or more people in any one accident is shown on the Coverage Selections Page as the per accident limit. This is the most we will pay as the result of a single accident. The limits of two or more autos or policies shall not be added to- gether, combined, or stacked, to determine the limits of coverage available to anyone covered under this Part, regardless of the number of autos involved, persons covered, claims made, or premiums shown on the Coverage Selections Page. We will not make payments under this Part which duplicate payments under the uninsured auto insurance of any other auto policy. The Part will not benefit any insurer or self-insurer under a workers compensation law or any similar law. Under this Part, we will pay damages to someone else whose auto or other property is damaged in an accident. The damages we will pay are the amounts that person is legally entitled to collect for property damage through a court judgment or settlement. We will pay only if you, or a household member, is legally responsible for the accident. We will also pay if someone else using your auto with your consent is legally responsible for the accident. Damages include any applicable sales tax and the costs resulting from the loss of use of the damaged property. We will not pay for property damage which occurs: 1. While your auto is being used as a public or livery conveyance. This does not apply to the use of your auto in a share-the-expense car pool arrangement or in an expense reimbursement program either as a volunteer or at work. 2. While any auto is being used by anyone in the course of his or her employment in the business of selling, servicing, repairing or parking autos. This exclusion does not apply to the ownership, maintenance or use of your auto by you or a household member. 3. While anyone is using a vehicle in the course of any business other than the business of selling, servicing, repairing or parking autos. This exclusion does not apply to private passenger autos, or to pick-up13 Compulsory 11 trucks, vans, or similar vehicles having a gross vehicle weight of less than 10,000 pounds and not used for the delivery or transportation of goods or materials unless such use is incidental to your business of installing, maintaining, or repairing furnishings or equipment. 4. While a household member, other than your spouse, is using an auto which you or any household member owns or uses regularly unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. 5. While you or your spouse, if a household member, are using an auto which you or your spouse, if a household member, own or use regularly unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. 6. To an auto or other property owned by you or the legally responsible person. Similarly, we will not pay for damage to an auto or other property, except for a private residence or garage, which you or the legally responsible person rents or has in his or her care. 7. When the property damage is caused by anyone using an auto without the consent of the owner. The most we will pay for damage resulting from any one accident is shown on the Coverage Selections Page. This is the most we will pay as the result of a single accident no matter how many autos or premiums are shown on the Coverage Selections Page. If someone covered under this Part is using an auto he or she does not own at the time of the accident, the owner s auto insurance must pay its limit before we pay. Then, we will pay for any damages not paid by that insurance, up to the policy limit shown on the Coverage Selections Page. However, if the claim is covered by us and another auto policy, we will pay only our proportionate share of those damages not paid by the owner s auto insurance. Under this Part, we may have to pay for property damage even if you or the legally responsible person fails to give us prompt notice of the accident. In that case we may be entitled to reimbursement from that person. This Part is Compulsory. You must have limits of at least $5,000. However, you may want to buy more protection. Higher limits may be purchased if agreed upon by you and by us. However, $5,000 is the most we will pay for property damage caused by an auto covered under this Part which is being operated in any prearranged or organized racing, speed, stunting or demolition contest or activity or in practice or preparation for any such contest or activity.14 12 Optional There are eight separate Parts to Optional. They are called Optional because they are not required by law. The amount of insurance and cost of any of these Parts you purchased is shown on the Coverage Selections Page. With the exception of Towing and Labor (Part 11), we must sell you any or all of the Optional coverages you wish, subject to certain deductibles and limits specified in Massachusetts law. However, Massachusetts law provides that we may refuse to sell Collision (Part 7) and Comprehensive (Part 9), or both, in certain specified instances. Because two of the Optional coverages Collision (Part 7) and Limited Collision (Part 8) duplicate each other in many ways, you may buy one of them but not both. If you do not buy either one, you still have the right to sue people who damage your auto but we will not provide any assistance to you under this policy. We will not pay under any of the Optional coverages: 1. If the accident happens while your auto is being used as a public or livery conveyance. This does not apply to the use of your auto in a share-the-expense car pool arrangement or in an expense reimbursement program either as a volunteer or at work. 2. For loss of any items used in the reproduction of sound, unless they have been permanently installed in the auto. However, we will pay for the loss of any such item if it operates in the auto exclusively and only when used in combination with the components permanently installed in the auto. Tapes, discs, and records are not covered. 3. For loss of or damage to a citizens band radio, two-way mobile radio, telephone or scanning monitor receiver, including their related equipment. We will pay, however, for such loss or damage if this equipment is permanently installed in the opening of the dash or console normally used by the auto manufacturer for the installation of a radio or a telephone. 4. For loss of or damage to any custom furnishings or custom equipment in or upon any pick-up truck, van or similar vehicle. Custom furnishings or custom equipment include but are not limited to the following items: special carpeting and insulation, furniture, bars, television receivers, facilities for cooking and sleeping, heightextending roofs, custom murals, paintings or other decals or graphics. 5. For loss or damage to equipment designed for the detection or avoidance of any law enforcement speed measuring device. This does not apply to electronic equipment designed solely for safety warning systems.15 Optional 13 Part 5. Optional Bodily Injury to Others 6. For injury or damage that is intentionally caused by you, a household member or anyone else using your auto with your consent. Under this Part, we will pay damages to people injured or killed in accidents if you or a household member is legally responsible for the accident. We will also pay damages if someone else using your auto with your consent is legally responsible for the accident. The damages we will pay are the amounts the injured person is entitled to collect for bodily injury through a court judgment or settlement. This Part is similar to Compulsory Bodily Injury To Others (Part 1). Like the Compulsory Part, this Part pays for accidents involving your auto in Massachusetts. Also like the Compulsory Part, this Part does not pay for the benefit of anyone using an auto without the consent of the owner. Unlike the Compulsory Part, this Part does provide coverage for injuries to guest occupants and for accidents occurring outside Massachusetts. In addition, we will not pay: 1. For injuries to employees of the person using the auto who are injured in the course of employment. 2. For injuries resulting from an accident while a household member, other than your spouse, is using an auto which you or any household member owns or uses regularly, unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. 3. For injuries resulting from an accident while you or your spouse, if a household member, are using an auto which you or your spouse, if a household member, own or use regularly unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. 4. While any auto is being used by anyone in the course of his or her employment in the business of selling, servicing, repairing, or parking autos. This exclusion does not apply to the ownership, maintenance or use of your auto by you or a household member. 5. While anyone is using a vehicle in the course of any business other than the business of selling, servicing, repairing or parking autos. This exclusion does not apply to private passenger autos, or to pick-up trucks, vans, or similar vehicles having a gross vehicle weight of less than 10,000 pounds and not used for the delivery or transportation of goods or materials unless such use is incidental to your business of installing, maintaining, or repairing furnishings or equipment.16 14 Optional If the accident occurs in any other state or in a Canadian province and you have purchased any coverage at all under this Part, your policy will automatically apply to that accident as follows: If the state or province has: 1. A financial responsibility law or similar law specifying limits of liability for bodily injury or property damage higher than the limits you have purchased, your policy will provide the higher specified limits. 2. A compulsory insurance or similar law requiring your auto to have insurance whenever it is used in the state or province, your policy will provide at least the required minimum amounts and types of coverage. The limits shown for this Part on the Coverage Selections Page are the total limits you have under Compulsory Bodily Injury to Others (Part 1) and this Part. This means that the Compulsory limits are included within the limits shown on the Coverage Selections Page for this Part and are not in addition to them. The most we will pay for injuries to one or more persons as a result of bodily injury to any one person in any one accident is shown on the Coverage Selections Page as the per person limit for the auto involved in that accident. Subject to this limit, the most we will pay for injuries to two or more people as the result of bodily injury to two or more people in any one accident is shown on the Coverage Selections Page as the per accident limit for the auto involved in that accident. This is the most we will pay as the result of a single accident no matter how many autos or premiums are shown on the Coverage Selections Page. If someone covered under this Part is using an auto he or she does not own at the time of the accident, the owner s auto insurance must pay its limits before we pay. Then, we will pay for any damages not paid by that insurance, up to the policy limits shown on your Coverage Selections Page. However, if the claim is covered by us and another auto policy, we will pay only our proportionate share of those damages not paid by the owner s auto insurance. Any payments we make to anyone or for anyone under Bodily Injury Caused By An Uninsured Auto (Part 3) will reduce the amount of damages that person is entitled to recover from anyone covered under this Part. We will also pay up to $250 for the cost of bail bonds required as a result of an accident covered under this Part including bail bonds for traffic law violations related to the accident.17 Optional 15 We must sell you limits up to $35,000 per person and $80,000 per accident if you want to buy them. Higher limits may be purchased if agreed upon by you and by us. However, while an auto covered under this Part is being operated in any prearranged or organized racing, speed, stunting or demolition contest or activity or in practice or preparation for any such contest or activity, the most we will pay is the required minimum limits. Part 6. Under this Part, we will pay reasonable expenses for necessary Medical Payments medical and funeral services incurred as a result of an accident. We will pay for expenses resulting from bodily injuries to anyone occupying your auto at the time of the accident. We will also pay for expenses resulting from bodily injuries to you or any household member if struck by an auto or if occupying someone else s auto at the time of the accident. We will not pay for expenses resulting from injuries to: 1. Anyone injured while in a vehicle which had been placed off the public roads for use as a residence. 2. Anyone injured in the course of employment in selling, servicing, repairing or parking autos if that person is entitled to workers compensation benefits. 3. Anyone employed by you or your spouse who is injured in the course of employment. This exception does not apply to any domestic employee who is not entitled to any workers compensation benefits. 4. Anyone injured while occupying an auto without a reasonable belief that he or she had the consent of the owner to do so. 5. A household member, other than your spouse, while occupying or struck by an auto owned or regularly used by you or any household member unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. 6. You or your spouse, if a household member, while occupying or struck by an auto owned or regularly used by you or your spouse unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. We will not pay for expenses incurred more than two years after the date of the accident. We will not pay under this Part for any expenses that are payable, or would have been payable except for a deductible, under the PIP coverage of this policy or any other Massachusetts auto policy.18 16 Optional Part 7. Collision The most we will pay for any one person as a result of any one accident is shown on the Coverage Selections Page. This is the most we will pay as the result of a single accident no matter how many autos or premiums are shown on the Coverage Selections Page. If someone covered under this Part is also entitled to Medical Payments coverage under another auto policy issued to you or any household member, we will pay only our proportionate share. If someone covered under this Part is using an auto he or she does not own at the time of the accident, the owner s automobile Medical Payments insurance must pay its limit before we pay. Then, we will pay up to the limit shown on your Coverage Selections Page for any expenses not covered by that insurance. We will not pay benefits under this Part which duplicate payments made under the Medical Payments coverage of any other auto policy. We must sell you limits of $5,000 per person if you want to buy them. Higher limits may be purchased if agreed upon by you and us. However, while an auto covered under this Part is being operated in a prearranged or organized racing, speed, stunting or demolition contest or activity or in practice or preparation for any such contest or activity, the most we will pay is the required minimum limits. Under this Part, we will pay for any direct and accidental damage to your auto caused by a collision. It does not matter who is at fault. We will also pay for collision damage to other private passenger autos while being used by you or a household member with the consent of the owner. However, we will not pay for damage to any auto which is owned or regularly used by you or a household member unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. We will not pay if an accident occurs while an auto covered under this Part is being operated in any prearranged or organized racing, speed, stunting or demolition contest or activity or in practice or preparation for any such contest or activity. We will pay for each loss up to the actual cash value of the auto or any of its parts at the time of the collision. If the repair of a damaged part will impair the operational safety of the auto we will replace the part. In all cases we will subtract the deductible amount you selected. Unless you selected a different amount, the law sets your deductible at $500. Your deductible is shown on the Coverage Selections Page. We will not pay for a collision loss for an accident which occurs while your auto is being operated by a household member who is not listed as an operator on this policy. Payment is withheld when the19 Optional 17 household member, if listed, would require the payment of additional premium on this policy because: 1. the household member would be classified as an inexperienced operator, or 2. a higher rating step would be assigned under the Safe Driver Plan. You must notify us within 60 days after a person who will operate your auto becomes a household member, if that person was not a household member on the effective date of your policy. In the same manner, you must notify us if a household member, who will operate your auto, becomes a licensed operator. If we pay for the total loss of your auto, we will suspend the Collision Coverage for that auto until it passes a Motor Vehicle Inspection Test. Camper bodies are not covered under this Part unless specifically shown on the Coverage Selections Page or by endorsement. An additional premium will be charged for insuring a camper body. If an auto covered under this Part is not owned by you at the time of the accident, the owner s auto insurance must pay its limit before we pay. Then, we will pay, up to the limit shown on your Coverage Selections Page, for any damage not covered by that insurance less the deductible amount you selected. Part 8. Under this Part, we will pay in some situations for direct and acci- Limited Collision dental damage to your auto caused by a collision. We will also pay in these situations for damage to other private passenger autos while being used by you or a household member with the consent of the owner. However, we will not pay for damage to any auto which is owned or regularly used by you or a household member unless a premium for this Part is shown for that auto on the Coverage Selections Page. We will not pay if an accident occurs while an auto covered under this Part is being operated in any prearranged or organized racing, speed, stunting or demolition contest or activity or in practice or preparation for any such contest or activity. We will not pay for a loss for an accident which occurs while your auto is being operated by a household member who is not listed as an operator of this policy. Payment is withheld when the household member, if listed, would require the payment of additional premium on this policy because: 1. the household member would be classified as an inexperienced operator, or20 18 Optional 2. a higher rating step would be assigned under the Safe Driver Plan. You must notify us within 60 days after a person who will operate your auto becomes a household member if that person was not a household member on the effective date of your policy. In the same manner, you must notify us if a household member, who will operate your auto, becomes a licensed operator. The protection under this Part is not as broad as under Collision coverage but the premium is considerably less. We only pay under this Part for multiple car accidents in which the driver of the auto we are covering was no more than 50% at fault. We will not pay if the owner of the other auto cannot be identified. After a claim under this Part we are required to determine whether the driver of the auto we are covering was more than 50% at fault. We will notify you of our determination. As long as the driver of the auto covered under this Part was not more than 50% at fault, his or her percentage of fault will not affect the amount of our payment. We will pay for each loss up to the actual cash value of the auto or any of its parts at the time of the collision. If the repair of a damaged part will impair the operational safety of the auto we will replace the part. In all cases we will subtract the deductible amount you selected. Unless you selected a different amount, the law sets your deductible at $500. Your deductible is shown on the Coverage Selections Page. We will consider the driver of the auto covered under this Part to be no more than 50% at fault if: 1. That auto was legally parked when struck by another auto. 2. That auto was struck in the rear by another auto moving in the same direction. 3. The operator of the other auto was convicted of certain violations listed in Massachusetts law or any similar law of another state in which the accident occurs. However, we will not pay if the operator of the auto covered under this Part was also convicted of one of the same violations. 4. That driver is entitled to recover in court against an identified person for some reason other than those listed above. View more
