Final answer:

PIP covers medical expenses, regardless of fault; PDL covers property damage for the at-fault party. If you were not at fault, PIP still covers medical expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in how PIP and PDL insurance coverage works depends on whether you were at fault or not.

If you were at fault:

  • PIP (Personal Injury Protection) covers your medical expenses, regardless of fault. It pays for your medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages.
  • PDL (Property Damage Liability) insurance covers property damage caused by you to others. It pays for repairs to the other party's vehicle or property.

If you were not at fault:

  • PIP insurance still covers medical expenses for you, regardless of fault.
  • PDL insurance is not applicable in this scenario since the at-fault party is responsible for covering the property damage.
