  1. Your Colorado Traffic Accident | An Attorney’s Perspective

  2. MEDICAL PAYMENTS & YOUR INSURANCE RATES Been in an accident in Colorado? One of the common misconceptions I come across is the impact of using your medical payments coverage after an accident.

  3. Many accident victims believe that if they use their insurance for accident-related medical payments, their rates will increase. Rates are typically based upon: • At-fault accidents • Driving record • Age • Credit history • Year and make of vehicle

  4. Being a victim of an accident is not a ratable incident. Taking advantage of the coverage you purchased from your insurer, will not result in a rate increase.

  5. Medical Payments Coverage is a first-party coverage that typically pays for the medical expenses of the insured (usually the driver), his/her family and guests in the insured vehicle (there are a few policies that limit the coverage to the insured only).

  6. The benefit of this coverage is that there is no deductible and thus there are no out-of-pocket expenses.
