In connection with insurance against bodily injury liability, burglary, robbery or theft, whether issued by a stock or mutual company, or other insurer, such stock or mutual company or other insurer may also issue endorsements, or supplemental coverages to cover, irrespective of legal liability of the insured, medical, surgical, hospital, funeral or other expenses sustained by the named insured or other person and incurred as a result of bodily injury, sickness or disease caused by accident, or during the commission of a burglary, robbery or theft which is insured against in the basic policy to which such endorsements or supplemental coverages are added. The endorsement or supplemental coverage may also provide benefits to injured persons and death benefits to dependents, beneficiaries or personal representatives of persons who are killed on account of the bodily injury or death of any person including the named insured, irrespective of legal liability of the insured, if such injury or death is caused by accident or, in the case of an automobile liability policy, if such injury or death is caused by accident and sustained by the insured while in or upon, entering into or alighting from or through being struck by an automobile.
