Hurt while changing a tire
According to NHTSA’s estimates, about 9,000 motorists lacerate themselves each year while changing a tire. Injuries sustained while using a jack to change a tire, typically from the jack slipping or failing, happen to an estimated 3,000 people each year. Beyond this, an estimated 10,000 hurt themselves each year in other jack- or hoist-related incidents.
Since these tasks typically fall under ownership and maintenance of your vehicle, PIP should cover your resulting injuries in these cases.
