Liability insurance covers claims like court costs, loss of income and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Acura MDX.

Collision protection
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your MDX from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for claims like driving through your garage door, rolling your car, hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The most your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Insurance for medical payments
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses like ambulance fees, EMT expenses and dental work. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street.
