In most countries it is necessary by law to have auto insurance. In case you are involved in an accident by your fault and have caused property or bodily damage you could be sued by law.

Bodily Injury Liability is a type of auto insurance that pays in case there is physical injury or even death to a third party. This is legally the liability of the policy holder.

Collision coverage insurance is important if the policyholder’s vehicle is damaged as a result of a collision with another vehicle or any other object, say a road sign.

Property Damage Liability is the insurance that comes into play when you cause damage to another vehicle or to a physical property. In that case the insurance company of the other driver whose car you hit would retrieve the money from your insurance coverage.

Comprehensive Coverage policy pays for the damage caused to your vehicle by factors other than collision, like theft, vandalism or natural calamities. Note that if your car is much older it is not advisable to take a comprehensive insurance policy because the older your car is the lesser would be its resale value, which means you will not derive much from insurance in case of damage to it.

Personal Injury Protection with conditions apply, covers for the medical and even the funeral expenses of the insured and the others in that vehicle and of the pedestrians involved in the accident.

Medical Payments is an auto insurance policy that covers the medical expenses not only for you but also for the passengers in your car during an accident. If a pedestrian is involved, he too may be included in the coverage.

Another insurance policy is the Uninsured and Underinsured Driver Coverage which covers you if you are injured as a result of the other party’s fault. This is covered when you have exceeded the personal injury coverage and the other party does not have any insurance or sufficient insurance to take care of your medical expenses and to pay for the damages done to your vehicle.
