Which coverage protects against personal injury within a rental unit?

Medical payments coverage is specifically designed to address injuries that occur within a rental unit, providing financial assistance for medical expenses regardless of who is at fault for the injury. This type of coverage typically applies to guests who are injured on the premises, allowing for a more immediate response to medical needs without the necessity of establishing liability. It can cover costs such as hospital bills, ambulance services, and sometimes even necessary medical treatment during recovery.

Liability coverage is more focused on protecting against claims from third parties for bodily injury or property damage due to the policyholder's negligence, which may not directly cover medical expenses incurred by a person injured in a rental unit. Property damage coverage pertains to physical damage to the tenant's belongings, and loss of use coverage helps reimburse for lost rental income or alternative living expenses if the rental unit becomes uninhabitable. These other options do not specifically address personal injuries within a rental unit in the same immediate and targeted way that medical payments coverage does.
