Police Department Charges Covered by PAP?
I am writing to ask your opinion regarding whether the personal auto policy provides coverage/payment for charges levied by local police departments arising from their officers responding to a vehicle accident. As you may be aware, some local departments are sending invoices to at fault drivers to cover the, “costs”, of having the officers respond. I realize the insuring agreement promises to pay damages for “bodily injury” or “property damage” for which any “insured” becomes legally responsible because of an auto accident. However, I can't find anywhere in the policy that addresses this type of expense.
