Bodily injury liability is the insurance that covers the injury of you, the designated driver, the policy holder or somebody else.

It may cover the funeral costs also.

Collision is the coverage that pays for the damage to your car when a collision with some other car has been occurred. The damage may be caused by potholes or by flipping over. Collision coverage is usually sold with an amount deductible. The higher the deductible is, the higher is the premium. The insurance company will repay you the cost of repairing of your car even if you are at fault. But if you are not at fault the insurance company can try to recover the amount that is paid to you by the insurance company from the insurance company of the other driver. If they become successful then you will also be repaid for the deductible.

Comprehensive Coverage repay you for the loss that is caused due to an accident other than a collision like fire, explosion, missiles, earthquake, flood, windstorm or contact with unwanted animals or birds and so on. Comprehensive insurance is generally sold with an amount deductible as a technique of lowering your premium. This may also repay you if your windshield is broken.
