“There are two parts that make up
liability car insurance
:
bodily injury liability
property damage liability
Both of these coverages protect
other drivers
when you’re at fault in an accident.
Bodily injury
covers any physical injuries to other drivers. Property damage covers damage to their vehicle or property.
Without
comprehensive insurance
or
collision insurance
, your vehicle
won’t
be protected from damage.”
