All vehicles registered in New York and New Jersey require three types of mandatory insurance:
- Liability insurance pays others for damages that you cause if you are responsible for an accident. It does not cover medical expenses
- Personal injury protection (PIP) pays medical expenses if you or other persons covered under your policy are injured in an automobile accident. Often called No Fault coverage, it pays your medical expenses if you were or were not at fault
- Uninsured motorist coverage protects you if you are in an accident with someone who doesn’t have proper insurance coverage
