Will my auto insurance cover my medical bills if I accidentally slammed my fingers in the door?

Will my car insurance pay for my medical bills? I was getting out of my car and closed the door before I could get my fingers out of the way. To be sure they weren’t broken, I went to the ER.

“Somewhat surprisingly, this is one of the most common car-related accidents!
The good news is that several
types of insurance
 cover this injury. In particular,
medical payments coverage
 and personal injury protection (PIP) can help you take care of your medical bill.
Medical payments insurance (aka MedPay) will cover or reimburse you for the following:
  • Ambulance fees
  • Dental care
  • Chiropractic care
  • X-rays
  • Prosthetics
  • Professional nursing services
  • Funeral expenses
  • Deductibles
  • Co-pays
Another insurance option to ensure medical bills are taken care of in the event of an accident is PIP. Even better, there’s usually no deductible associated with PIP.

Does 2008 Acura TL have Bluetooth music?
My friend wants to sell his Acura TL before he moves out of town, and I thought I might take it off his hands. However, I’m a bit of a music guru, so I want to make sure I can connect to the audio system through my phone. Can I stream music via Bluetooth on the 2008 TL?

How long can a roach live in a hot car?
I was treated to the not-so-fabulous discovery of a couple of cockroaches in my car the other day. I’ve been parking it in the garage, but I wonder if parking it out in the sun will kill them. How long can a roach live in a hot car?
