Liability Protection
Liability insurance covers damages and injuries you cause to others in an accident. Most states require minimum liability coverage, which includes:
- Medical expenses for other drivers and passengers
- Repairs for other vehicles or property you damage
- Legal fees if you’re sued after an accident
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive insurance covers non-collision-related damage to your vehicle, including:
- Theft
- Falling objects such as tree branches
- Vandalism
- Hailstorms
- Floods
- Fire
It’s optional coverage, but if you lease or finance your vehicle, your lender may require it.
Uninsured/Underinsured
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage helps if you’re hit by a driver who has no insurance or not enough coverage. This type of coverage helps pay for:
- Medical bills for you and your passengers
- Lost wages due to injuries
- Damage to your vehicle (depending on your policy)
Collision Protection
Collision protection covers damage to your car from an accident, regardless of who’s at fault. It’s typically optional unless your lender requires you to carry this coverage. Specifically, collision protection can help pay for repairs or a replacement for your car when it’s involved in:
- A collision with another vehicle
- A collision with a fixed object (e.g., tree or guardrail)
- Single-vehicle rollover
