Insured
The person(s) entitled to coverage in case of an accident or loss.

Liability Insurance
Coverage for a policyholder's legal liability resulting from injuries to other persons or damage to their property.

Accident
A collision involving an automobile and anything that causes damage to the automobile, including other automobiles, telephone poles, buildings, and trees.

Towing & Labor Coverage
Pays for towing charges when your car can’t be driven. Also pays labor charges, such as changing a flat tire, at the place where your car broke down.

Loss Due To Fire Title
The vehicle sustained major damage due to fire. In most states, fire damage titles are issued when the cost of repairing the vehicle for safe operation exceeds its fair market value.

Deductible
The amount of the loss which the insured is responsible to pay before benefits from the insurance policy are payable.

Total Loss
An insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss when a claim exceeds the full value of the vehicle. Insurance companies typically take possession and obtain the title of such vehicles.

Comparative Negligence
The percentage of fault shared by each driver in an accident in which both contribute to causing the collision.

Full Tort
With this selection you retain unrestricted rights to bring suit against the negligent party.
