A: First Party Benefits is a term used to describe several important insurance coverages that you buy from your Pennsylvania car insurance company. First Party Benefits includes coverage for your medical expenses and wage loss. Sometimes the term is used to describe additional coverages that apply to protect you in the event the driver who caused the accident is either uninsured (Uninsured Motorist Coverage) or has insufficient coverage to fully compensate you for the loss caused by the accident (Underinsured Motorist Coverage). We discuss all of these coverages in more detail in other FAQs and in our free book The Ultimate Guide to Car Accident Cases in Pennsylvania: A Roadmap to Justice.
