So what does all that mean? Here are some of typical scenarios a driver may face and how coverage is effected: 

 

You cause an accident

Risk:

You cause a minor collision when glare from the setting sun blinds you in rush hour traffic. Damage is relatively minimal, but the other driver says her neck is in pain.

Coverage:

Liability insurance coverage pays for bodily injury and property damage to another that results from covered losses you cause.

You accidentally damage your own car

Risk:

You’re on your way to a ski weekend when you lose traction on an icy road — the impact when you slide into a guardrail damages your SUV’s front fender.

Coverage:

Collision coverage can help repair your vehicle if it’s damaged — or compensate you for its value if it’s a total loss.

A hailstorm dents your car

Risk:

A sudden hailstorm cracks your car’s windshield and leaves dozens of dents on the hood, roof and trunk of your vehicle.

Coverage:

Comprehensive coverage can help when your car is damaged by something other than a collision.

An uninsured driver hits you

Risk:

You suffer minor injuries when another driver runs a red light and clips your car’s rear fender. On top of it all, the driver doesn’t have auto insurance.

Coverage:

Uninsured motorist coverage covers the costs of your bodily injuries — up to your policy limit – when they are caused by an at-fault driver without any auto insurance. Underinsured motorist coverage picks up the costs of your injuries when an at-fault driver has some insurance, but not enough to cover all of your damages.

Your son is injured in a single-car wreck

Risk:

Your son and a passenger are both injured when his subcompact hits a tree.

Coverage:

Medical payments coverage can help with medical expenses if they’re caused by a covered accident — regardless of fault.
