Liability coverages – This coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see values of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability insurance covers things such as medical expenses, pain and suffering, legal defense fees and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like hail damage, hitting a deer, hitting a bird, falling objects and theft. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Chevy Camaro.

Collision coverages – This coverage covers damage to your Camaro resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things such as damaging your car on a curb, sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like dental work, EMT expenses, hospital visits, prosthetic devices and X-ray expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
