Coverage Overview
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage - Required by U.S. Forces
This coverage pays, in excess of Japanese Compulsory Insurance (JCI), for bodily injury or death of the other party, for which you are legally liable.
The amounts that can be paid under JCI, for example, is up to 30 million yen, and you may think it’s enough, but it isn't in Japan. Recent court awards have reached 100,000,000 yen. * In all U.S. military bases in Japan, this coverage is required at a minimum of 30,000,000 yen (Required by U.S. Forces), in addition to JCI and Property Damage Liability Coverage. Please consult with your legal counsel or one of our authorized insurance agents to make sure that you are properly insured.

This coverage pays for the loss of life or bodily injury to the owner, driver or passengers of the insured automobile (up to 14,000,000 yen per person) in an accident which does not involve third parties (e.g. hitting a telephone pole). This pays for losses not covered by JCI.
