Car insurance can be confusing, to say the least. Here's a simple explanation of what car insurance is and what it covers.
What is car insurance?
Simply stated, car insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company that protects you against financial loss when you're involved in an accident. You pay a fee and your insurance company agrees to pay for losses that are covered in your insurance policy.
What does car insurance cover?
Basic car insurance covers the following:
* Bodily injury liability coverage pays for medical expenses and lost wages for anyone you injure in an accident. It also pays your legal expenses if you're sued.
* Property damage coverage pays to repair the other person's car and any personal property you damage in an auto accident.
* Collision coverage pays to repair your car when you're involved in an accident.
* Comprehensive coverage pays to repair your car when it's been damaged by incidents other than an accident such as vandalism, theft, fire, floods, or storms.
* Personal injury protection pays for your and your passengers medical bills when you're involved in an accident, no matter who was at fault.
* Uninsured motorist coverage pays for your injuries if you're hit by an uninsured, underinsured, or hit-and-run driver.
* Rental coverage pays for a rental car when your car has been stolen or damaged and is being repaired.
* Towing coverage pays for towing fees when your car breaks down and you need to be towed.
