One thing I hear often is:
“I didn’t know that had changed.”
Insurance is always evolving, which is why I share updates like this.
The upcoming changes to optional accident benefits are something to be aware of.
If you have questions about how they may affect your coverage, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help.
IMPORTANT AUTO INSURANCE UPDATE!
Big changes are coming to who is covered under your policy’s optional accident benefits.
As of July 1, 2026, these optional benefits will ONLY apply to:
- The named insured and their spouse
- Dependants of either
- Persons specified as drivers on the policy
What this means: Pedestrians, cyclists, and certain passengers may no longer be eligible for these optional benefits under your specific policy.
