The Personal Auto Policy is designed to protect both you and your car in the
event of accident, theft, injury and other damages.
Personal Auto Policies usually consist of the following coverages:
Bodily Injury Liability
This coverage provides protection against financial loss should your auto
injure others and you are held liable. Includes such expenses as medical bills
and lost wages. You are covered up to the policy limit per one individual and
to an increased limit for an accident injuring two or more people.
Property Damage Liability
This coverage provides protection against financial loss should your auto
damage the property of others and you are held liable.
This includes property such as auto, house, fence, or building. You are
covered up to the policy limit for each separate occurrence.
Medical Payments
This coverage provides protection against financial loss when you or others
in your auto are injured. It includes such expenses as medical bills and surgery.
You are covered up to the policy limit regardless of who is at fault. This coverage
will help fill in the gaps you may have in your own personal or family health plan.
Other Than Collision
This coverage pays for loss or damage to your auto (other than collision) when
caused by theft, wind, vandalism, explosion, or any other covered peril. It pays to
the policy limit minus the deductible amount you select, or to the actual cash value of the auto.
Collision
This coverage pays for damages to your auto which are caused by collision with
any object or overturn of your auto. It pays to the policy limit, minus the
deductible amount you select, or to the actual value of the auto.
Uninsured Motorist
This coverage pays for expenses that you and your passengers incur as a result
of injury caused by an uninsured motorist.
The coverage also pays you and your family members up to the policy limit if
you are a victim of a hit and run accident or are struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian.
Underinsured Motorist
This coverage pays the difference between the amount you are entitled to
receive for an injury and the actual amount of insurance carried by the driver
responsible for your injuries. You and your passengers are covered up to the policy limit.
Towing and Labor
This coverage pays for towing and emergency labor costs when the insured
auto becomes disabled while on the road, up to a stated amount.
Rental Reimbursement
This coverage pays for the rental of an auto, up to a stated limit, when
your insured auto is disabled due to collision or comprehensive damage.
Uninsured Motorist Property Damage
This coverage pays for the property damage to your auto caused by an
uninsured motorist, when he is held liable for the damages.
