Understanding Your Insurance Policy Documents
Insurance policy documents can be complex and full of legal jargon. This guide will help you understand the key components of your policy and ensure you are fully aware of your coverage.
Policy Declarations
The policy declarations page, often referred to as the "dec page," is a summary of your policy. It includes important information such as:

- Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Covers medical expenses and lost wages for you and your passengers, regardless of fault.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Covers your expenses if you are hit by a driver with insufficient or no insurance.
