No-fault benefit does not mean fault is irrelevant to every claim

Accident benefits provide defined first-party injury benefits without waiting for a liability outcome. Fault can still matter for other coverage and legal questions arising from the same collision.

Benefit categories are not unlimited promises

A consumer summary names the types of benefits, but the standard policy and current legal wording determine eligibility, limits, documentation and timing. Always verify the current contract for a real claim.

Keep injury benefits separate from liability limits

Third-party liability protects against covered legal responsibility to others. Accident benefits pay defined first-party benefits. Comparing them as if they were the same limit leads to misleading coverage advice.
