What Does Auto Insurance Cover?
Auto insurance is made up of several coverage types that protect you, your vehicle, and others on the road. Liability coverage — which is legally required in most states — pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others in an accident. Collision coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision events like theft, vandalism, hail, floods, and hitting an animal. Medical payments (MedPay) or Personal Injury Protection (PIP) cover your medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage protects you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough to cover your losses.
