Basic auto coverages that can help give you peace of mind.
When you purchase a car insurance policy, it's important to know the standard auto coverages to make sure they are included on your policy which will help protect you from financial curves in the road.
Bodily Injury Liability
Protects you against damages for which you are legally responsible because of a covered auto accident that causes bodily harm, including death, to others.
Property Damage Liability
Protects you against damages for which you are legally responsible because of a covered auto accident that causes damage to another person’s property.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays expenses for necessary medical and funeral services for you, your family or others while riding in a covered vehicle when it is involved in an accident, regardless of who is at fault. Some states offer Personal Injury Protection (no fault) coverages instead of or in addition to Medical Payments Coverage.
Personal Injury Protection pays for medical and related expenses for you, your family and other people in your car because of an auto accident that occurs in states that have no-fault insurance laws. This means that you are covered regardless of who is at fault.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Pays for damages arising from bodily injury to you and your resident family members when another driver is legally responsible for the auto accident and does not have bodily injury liability coverage, or their liability limits fall below state minimum requirements.
Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Pays for damages arising from bodily injury to you and your resident family members when another driver is legally responsible for the auto accident and the at-fault driver has liability limits lower than the Underinsured Motorist Coverage limit on your policy.
Collision Coverage
Pays for damage to your insured auto when you have a collision with another vehicle or object.
Other Than Collision Coverage
Pays for accidental direct damage to your insured auto such as fire, theft, vandalism, breakage of glass and more.
