Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Cadillac ELR.

Collision coverage protection
Collision coverage pays for damage to your ELR resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with a tree, rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Coverage for liability
This will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as attorney fees, bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Coverage for medical expenses
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses such as nursing services, prosthetic devices, EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses and chiropractic care. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Comprehensive car insurance
This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
