Your car insurance coverage shouldn’t be a mystery. Knowing what your car insurance does and doesn’t cover is crucial information, and something you’ll want to know before you have to file a claim. Feeling a little foggy about what your insurance plan covers? No worries. Read on for a fuller understanding of your coverage.
What’s covered depends on your coverage
The first thing to do when trying to get a clearer picture of what your insurance policy covers is to identify what type of coverage you have. There are six main types of car insurance:
- Liability: Liability insurance protects you if you’re liable for the damage to another driver’s vehicle in an accident. This type of coverage is required in almost every state.
- Collision: Collision covers the repair or replacement of your vehicle no matter who is at fault in an accident. You’re required to have collision insurance if you lease or finance your vehicle.
- Comprehensive: Comprehensive insurance covers damage to your vehicle that was not caused by an accident. Examples include: rodent damage, fallen limb coverage, and more.
- Personal injury protection: This type of coverage pays for direct and indirect medical bills if you’re involved in an accident.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist: Covers vehicle damage and medical bills after an accident with an uninsured/underinsured driver. This type of insurance is required in 20 states.
- Medical payments: This pays for any and all of your medical expenses after an accident.
While this may seem fairly straightforward, your coverage also depends on which car insurance company you choose.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
