AUTO INSURANCE
Coverage
- Bodily Injury Coverage
-Pays claims in the event you are responsible for an accident in which someone is injured - Property Damage Coverage
-Pays claims for damage your vehicle causes to someone else's property, such as someone's car, mailbox, or a fence - Comprehensive and Collision Coverage
-Pays to repair or replace your auto if it is stolen or damaged in an accident, regardless of who is at fault. For each coverage, you select a deductible that you pay out of pocket. Your insurance company pays for the remaining damage up to the limits you select. - Collision coverage
Your insurance company pays for damage to your auto when you collide with another vehicle or object. If you hit a car, a pole or another nonliving object. - Comprehensive Coverage
Your insurance company pays for damage to your auto caused by an event other than a collision, such as fire, theft or vandalism. If you hit an animal, or if your auto is flooded or stolen. - Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Applies when the person at fault for an accident does not have insurance or has inadequate limits. Uninsured motorist bodily injury will cover injuries and damages you incur that the at-fault party is legally liable for, such as medical treatment and lost wages up to the limits you select.
If your injury expenses exceed the “at-fault” party's liability limits, you can use underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage to pay for the amount not covered by the at-fault person's insurance. Similar to uninsured motorist coverage, underinsured motorist coverage is designed to cover the gap between the other person's liability limits and the cost of your injury expenses, up to the underinsured motorist limits you select.
Example:
- Medical Payments (MedPay) Coverage
Pays the cost of necessary medical care you receive as a result of an auto accident and can be used regardless of who is at fault. MedPay often is limited to medical treatment received within the first three years after an accident and is limited to a specific dollar amount. In some states, MedPay only applies after other medical insurance is exhausted.
