The company offers three types of coverage, including liability, collision, and comprehensive. Here’s a brief explanation of each type, including what it covers and who is eligible.

• Liability

Liability coverage provides the minimum amount of protection you need, by law, to legally operate your vehicle on the roads. Limited is the keyword, as this policy only covers bodily injury and property damage claims to the OTHER property or vehicle and its driver and passengers if you are in an accident that is determined to be YOUR fault. You will be responsible for paying for you, and your passengers, injury-related expenses, and the damages to your car.

Unfortunately, if you are involved in a serious accident, the number of property damages may exceed your liability coverage. In this case, you will be expected to pay the difference, which could be a significant amount, leaving you in financial ruins.

In Kansas, the minimum liability coverage is $25,000/ person for bodily injury, $50,000/ accident for bodily injury, and $25,000/ accident for property damage. If the damages to other vehicle and its driver and passengers is more than this, you’re responsible for the balance. This could have devastating financial consequences for you.

Fortunately, Traders Insurance in Wichita KS offers affordable rates that will allow you to buy more than the state minimum requirement, offering you more financial protection. It’s important to understand that you must have paid your vehicle off in full before you are eligible for liability coverage only.

• Collision

Unlike liability insurance, collision coverage will help pay for damages to your vehicle if it is involved in an accident with another vehicle or object, such as a tree, or is in a single-car accident that involves falling or rolling over. However, before your coverage helps pay your claim, you will have to pay a deductible. The higher the deductible you choose, the lower your premium will be. Just remember, if you are in an accident, you will have to be able to pay this amount.

It’s important to understand that collision coverage does not help pay for your medical bills and is usually not an option if you are leasing a car or still paying a lender.

• Comprehensive

Definitely the highest tier, comprehensive coverage pays for almost all damages that may occur to your car. Typically, these accidents are outside of your control. This includes damages if you are in an accident with an animal or damages incurred from catastrophic events, such as fire or flood. Comprehensive coverage also includes theft protection, acts of vandalism, and windshield/ glass damage. Just like collision insurance, comprehensive will not help pay your (or your passengers) medical bills.

If you are still paying on your vehicle, the lender is almost certain to require that you maintain comprehensive coverage on it until it has been paid off.
