Understanding auto insurance — the basics

Auto insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company that protects you against financial loss in the event of an accident or theft. In exchange for your paying a premium, the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as outlined in your policy.

Auto insurance provides coverage for:

Property - such as damage to or theft of your car

Liability - your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage

Medical - the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages and funeral expenses
