Yes, Mercury offers personal injury protection car insurance where required by state law. Personal injury protection (PIP) is a type of auto insurance that pays medical bills after an accident regardless of who was at fault, so it is often referred to as no-fault insurance. States with no-fault laws require drivers to carry PIP, and the coverage is optional in many other states.

Mercury PIP Insurance Can Cover:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Child care expenses
Nursing care, medical supplies, and prescriptions
Funeral expenses

The details of Mercury personal injury protection will depend on your state and policy. In some states, PIP will pay the majority of qualifying medical bills, but policyholders will need to pay out of pocket for a small percentage of their expenses. However, personal injury protection is still considered a good investment because using health insurance to cover car accident injuries usually involves more out-of-pocket expenses.
