Yes—for additional protection, you can add several optional car insurance coverages to your policy. Here are a few we offer to Colorado drivers like you:
Roughly one in eight American motorists are uninsured, and if you’re involved in an accident with one of those drivers, you could end up paying your own injury-related expenses out-of-pocket. Uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can help cover those costs if you’re involved in an accident caused by a driver with no automobile insurance.
Additionally, many drivers carry just enough car insurance to legally drive, but not enough to pay for your expenses if they injure you in an accident. If you’re injured in an accident and the at-fault driver is underinsured, having underinsured motorist (UIM) bodily injury liability coverage on your policy can help.
Along with the UM/UIM bodily injury liability coverages described above, you can also add UM property damage liability coverage to help pay for repairs if your vehicle is damaged in an accident in which the at-fault driver is uninsured.
Comprehensive insurance can help protect you if your vehicle is damaged by something other than a collision—for example, falling objects, fire, natural disaster, theft, or vandalism.
We all know medical bills can add up fast. If you and/or your passengers are injured in an accident, this coverage can help pay for your necessary medical expenses—and, in a worst-case scenario, even funeral expenses. This coverage applies regardless of who was at fault in the accident.
