Collision Coverage for Your Vehicle – What It Covers

Collision coverage is a type of insurance that protects you when your vehicle is involved in an accident. Here are some situations that would benefit from having this type of coverage.

Hit-and-Run

A hit-and-run is a criminal offense that often doesn’t result in immediate justice. This type of accident could require expensive repairs. Collision coverage can act as a buffer, reducing the amount of money needed to restore a damaged vehicle to its original condition. Coverage will reimburse a driver for diagnostic essentials, automotive parts, and repair work.

Single Car Accident

A vehicle can be involved in an accident that does not involve any other vehicles. This type of accident could still result in considerable damage. Fortunately, collision coverage can pay for the cost of repairing body damage and mechanical damage that is incurred.

Multiple Vehicle Accident

Collision coverage can cover costs incurred after an accident involving multiple vehicles. In most cases, it won’t matter who was at fault. Collision coverage will cover the repair costs that the insured individual incurs. This type of coverage can be incredibly beneficial if the driver who was responsible for a crash is uninsured or underinsured. The victim of an accident will be able to seek repairs on time.

Additional Coverage Information

Collision insurance won’t cover normal wear and tear concerns. It also won’t cover incidents in which the insured is at fault for an accident. If the insured caused an accident, their liability coverage would handle the damage incurred.
