Bodily Injury (BI)

The most common consequence of car accidents is injuries. According to the Illinois Crash Facts, there were 319,146 accidents in 2018 alone; of which, 67,453 or 21.1% were injury crashes. For the financial safety of drivers and pedestrians during accidents, the State of Illinois has minimum auto insurance requirements, primarily, Liability Coverage.

Liability Coverage – a driving requirement in the State of Illinois and a typical auto insurance policy – covers two separate vehicular insurance, namely, Bodily Injury (BI) and Physical Damage coverages. As the name suggests, Bodily Injury coverage will pay for possible injuries or deaths. This, however, will pay for other drivers and their passengers and pedestrians. This coverage may also pay for your own passenger, provided the passenger is not a member of your household. The State of Illinois set the BI coverage at $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident.

Note that getting a Liability Coverage will only cover for the other party’s injuries and property damage. If you wish for coverage of your own, you may secure Physical Damage Coverage. Know more about Illinois’ auto insurance requirements to ensure you’re sufficiently covered.
