This coverage typically includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Bodily injury liability\u00a0coverage<\/b>, which\u00a0may help cover medical expenses for others if\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0at fault in an accident.<\/li>\n<li><b>Property damage liability\u00a0coverage<\/b>, which may help pay for repairs to another person\u2019s vehicle or property.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Liability insurance does not cover your injuries or damage to your vehicle. If\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0involved in an at-fault accident, you would\u00a0be responsible for\u00a0your own repair or medical costs.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Full Coverage?<\/h2>\n<p>Full coverage\u00a0generally refers\u00a0to a combination of\u00a0policies. In addition to meeting state\u00a0liability coverage requirements, full coverage may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Collision coverage<\/b>, which\u00a0may help pay to repair or replace your vehicle after a crash, regardless of fault.<\/li>\n<li><b>Comprehensive coverage<\/b>, which may help cover non-collision events such as theft, vandalism,\u00a0fire\u00a0or severe weather.<\/li>\n<li><b>Uninsured\u00a0or\u00a0underinsured motorist coverage<\/b>, which\u00a0may help with expenses if\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0hit by an at-fault\u00a0driver without enough insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who Needs Which Type?<\/h2>\n<p>Liability insurance may be suitable if you drive an older car, own your vehicle\u00a0outright\u00a0or want to keep premiums lower.\u00a0On the other hand, full coverage may be a better fit if you have a newer vehicle, drive\u00a0frequently\u00a0or want\u00a0financial\u00a0protection from a wider range of risks.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Can Help<\/h2>\n<p>Every driver\u2019s situation is unique.
