- Liability: This includes bodily injury, property damage and legal fees.
- Medical Payments: If you or your employee(s) is involved in an accident, this covers medical expenses.
- Collision: This pays for damage resulting from colliding with another car or object.
- Comprehensive: This will pay for damage that is a result of anything other than colliding with a car or another object, such as theft, damage from storms, or fire
- Uninsured/Underinsured: If an uninsured or underinsured driver hits you and can’t pay for damages or bodily injury, your uninsured/underinsured insurance will cover your expenses.
