1. Liability
   is the most important coverage on your auto policy.  There are 2 sections to the liability policy.  One is bodily injury, while the other is property damage.
   
   Auto liability coverage cover injury costs when a person or persons is injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident that you are found at fault for.  It will cover medical treatments as well as financial loss.  The property portion covers damages to property such as a house, pole, or garage. 
   
2. Medical
   The medical coverage pays for the treatment of the any injuries you receive as a result of a motor vehicle accident, regardless of who was at fault in the accident.  Depending on the type of coverage you purchased it may also include coverage for other economic costs, like lost wages or funeral expenses.
   
3. Collision and comprehensive
   are the next most important parts to your policy, although both are optional.  This part of the policy covers damage to your car no matter who is at fault.  Collision covers damage caused by a collision where as comprehensive covers damage caused by almost anything else.  Occurrences such as vandalism, theft or natural disaster are covered by this portion of the policy.
   
4. Uninsured and Underinsured motorist coverage
   is also an optional insurance coverage. Underinsured coverage will help pay your bills if you're hit by a driver who does not carry enough liability insurance.  Uninsured coverage has the same benefit for you but covers accidents where the other driver is at fault and carries no insurance.
   
5. Endorsement
   is the term used for the balance of optional policies available.  This includes coverage for such things as a rental vehicle, towing, and roadside assistance.
