When shopping for car insurance, it's important to know the terms of the trade so you know what you are paying for. Liability coverage is the coverage you have if someone sues you for bodily injury or property damage as a result of an accident. Your limits are based on per person/ per accident/ property damage.
Or, you can get one limit and it's commonly called combined single limit. Collision coverage is the coverage for your "own" vehicle if there is an accident or collision, hence the term. If you hit into something and it was your own fault, your insurance company will need to pay for damage to your own vehicle. This amount will be less your deductible. Comprehensive coverage also pays for your own vehicle for claims that arise out of losses other than collision. In fact, it is often referred to as other than collision coverage. This could be from a tree branch falling on your car or a rock hitting your windsheild. You would again be responsible for
paying your deductible before the insurance policy will pay out.
