Protection for Serious Peace of Mind

could be held legally responsible for all medical and repair
costs for everyone involved. Liability Coverage can shield
you from these potentially devastating expenses.
Protection for People, Property, and the Unexpected
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage
If people are injured in an
accident that's your fault, Bodily Injury Liability coverage
helps protect you from bills that can include:
• Emergency aid at
the scene •
Medical expenses for bodily injury
• Medical services
for sickness or disease
• Compensation for loss of income
• Funeral
expenses •
Legal defense fees and/or bail bonds for anyone listed on

in carrying this coverage, but aren't quite sure how much
coverage is right for you, you might want to consider
purchasing the highest limit you can comfortably afford.
Property Damage Liability Coverage

in an accident that's your fault, Property Damage can help

Liability protection, you might want to consider purchasing

Medical
Payments
Considering your claim is a covered loss (that's
insurance-speak for an accident or incident that falls
within the bounds of your policy), Medical Payments coverage
helps pay for medical treatment for accident-related
injuries, no matter who's at fault. These costs may include
doctor visits, hospital visits and/or stays, surgery,
x-rays, EMT and ambulance fees, and other similar expenses.
This option covers you, your passengers, and any family
members who may be driving the insured car during the
accident. And while
nobody likes to think about it, this option also helps cover
funeral expenses.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist
This coverage option helps pay for
medical expenses, and damage to your car, caused by a driver
who has little to no insurance.
This Coverage Is
Divided Into Two Parts:
• Bodily Injury Coverage — may pay
medical expenses for you, your passengers,
or any family
members who might be driving the car when bodily injuries
are caused
by an uninsured or underinsured driver.
• Property Damage
Coverage — pays for damages to your car caused by an
uninsured or underinsured driver.
Collision Coverage
Collision coverage helps protect your
car if you're in an accident that involves other cars, or
objects. For instance, if your car collides with:
• Other vehicles, or
• Stationary
objects (such as a tree or a streetlight)
Collision helps pay
for repairs or replacement up to the Actual Cash Value (ACV)
of your car. (Though remember, the ACV isn't the amount you
paid for your car. ACV is likely a lower value, as it takes
into account things like age, use, and wear and tear).
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive coverage protects your
car in situations that don't necessarily involve other
drivers or vehicles. For instance, if your car's damaged by:
• Storm (or other
natural disaster) such as hail or flood. • Vandalism
• Passive object (such as a tree or a
post in a parking garage) which fell and was not
caused by
collision
or
if you sustain
• Broken window or windshield
• Damage due to a
collision with an animal on the road
Additional Coverage Options can boost convenience and peace
of mind, whether it's with our Towing and Labor-Cost
Coverage*, Rental Car Reimbursement* Coverage, Sound System
Coverage*, or Tape/CD Coverage*. The choice is yours.
