Coverage for liability - This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property by causing an accident.

A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. 2012 collision insurance is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) - Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you'll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it's not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don't have enough coverage.

That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Insurance for medical payments - Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, prosthetic devices, and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
