Collision and Comprehensive Insurance Coverage & Property Damage Claims

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

While not required by Illinois state law, some insurers may require you to carry Physical Damage insurance. Physical Damage coverage falls into 2 categories: collision coverage and comprehensive coverage. The value of your car will help determine the amount of coverage you should carry, or if it’s even worth having on your car. Typically, this coverage only matters in the first 3 model years, as depreciation of value occurs rapidly.Collision coverage will pay for damage to your vehicle caused by an accident involving another vehicle. It also covers collisions with pedestrians and animals, as well as stationary objects such as trees, utility poles, and buildings.Comprehensive coverage will pretty much cover everything else that could potentially damage your vehicle. This includes natural elements such as hail, tornadoes, and falling trees. Also included are events such as theft or vandalism as long as the vehicle is legally parked.There are many more factors to consider when looking at your insurance coverage in the event you are involved in a Chicago car accident.
