Liability Coverage: Liability coverage helps protect you in the event you are found legally responsible for an accident or injury caused by you or someone else driving your vehicle. Liability coverage typically includes three components: bodily injury liability coverage, which covers medical expenses for someone injured in an accident; property damage liability coverage, which covers expenses for property damaged in an accident; and uninsured/under-insured damage liability coverage, which provides coverage if the party responsible for the accident doesn’t have sufficient insurance.
The positive benefits of liability coverage include providing financial protection if you are found liable for an accident or injury resulting from your actions, and in some cases, defending your legal rights in court.
Collision Coverage: Collision coverage helps financially protect your vehicle in case of an accident. This type of coverage will pay for physical damages, up to the actual cash value of your vehicle, which is generally the amount you would receive if you sold your vehicle at market value. Collision coverage is usually optional unless you are financing your car.
The positive benefits of collision coverage include helping to pay for damages to your car following an accident, protecting your finances, and relieving you of the burden of having to pay for repairs out of pocket.
Comprehensive Coverage: Comprehensive coverage helps protect you in the event of non-accident damage to your car, such as theft or vandalism. Comprehensive coverage pays for expenses to repair or replace your vehicle, including expenses caused by natural disasters or animal injuries.
The positive benefits of comprehensive coverage include providing financial protection in the event of non-accident damage to your car, and helping to cover expenses such as a rental car while your car is being repaired.
Uninsured/Under-insured Motorist Coverage: Uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage provides financial protection in the event of an accident caused by a party with insufficient auto insurance. This type of coverage pays for bodily injury or property damage caused by the other party up to your policy’s limits.
The positive benefits of uninsured/under-insured motorist coverage include ensuring you are financially protected if you are in an accident with a party who does not have sufficient insurance, and relieving at least some of the financial burden of an accident.
Understanding the definitions and positive benefits of the various auto insurance coverages will help you make informed decisions about which coverage is right for you. Having the right coverage will help you ensure your car is properly protected in case of an accident or other loss.
