Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things like medical expenses, loss of income, legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
This provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your MINI Cooper Clubman.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from flooding, a broken windshield and vandalism.

They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian.
