What is auto insurance?

Auto insurance, aka car insurance, is a contract between an auto insurance company and you. A car insurance policy protects you financially from losses that can arise from the use of your car, SUV or pickup truck. Depending on the type of coverage you elect, auto insurance may pay to fix your car after an accident. Car insurance may also pay to fix another person's automobile if you're responsible for the damages. Most states require automobile owners to carry certain minimum car insurance coverage, such as liability.

The components of car insurance

Usually an automobile insurance policy has 3 components:

  1. Liability Coverage - for property damage and bodily injury caused to others.
  2. Medical Coverage - for you and/or your passengers.
  3. Collision/comprehensive - for the repair of your auto.

If you are responsible for an accident that causes injury or loss to someone else, the liability provisions contained in your auto insurance policy protects you for claims made by the other person(s) up to the limits of the policy. The medical coverage provisions of you car insurance policy addresses the medical and hospital bills that you and/or the passengers in your car may incur up to the limits of the policy. The collision/comprehensive coverage provisions define the financial obligations of the insurance company for damage to your car due to an accident, fire, theft or vandalism. All of these coverages are limited to the amount stated on your policy.
