Benefit
A benefit is the amount paid by an auto insurance company to you or
your beneficiary when you file an auto insurance claim.
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage
Bodily injury liability coverage protects you if you are held responsible
for injuring someone in a car accident.
This coverage helps pay for the injured party's medical expenses and
lost wages. Bodily injury liability may also help pay your expenses
in a related lawsuit.
The amount covered is capped at the limits you select when you buy
your auto insurance policy.
Broadform Collision Coverage
This auto insurance coverage is available only in the state of Michigan.
Broadform works like standard collision
coverage, but also pays for collision damage to your insured car
regardless of who's at fault.
Although this auto insurance coverage will pay up to your car's actual
cash value regardless of fault in an accident, you'll be responsible
for the deductible amount you select if you're found to be more
than 50 percent responsible for the accident. If you're less than
50 percent responsible, you won't have to pay this deductible.
Business/Commercial Use
This classification means that you mainly use your car for business
purposes (such as sales, service, and delivery calls) or work-related
errands (like trips to the bank or post office), and other work-related
driving. Commuting to and from work is not considered business use.
Esurance doesn't currently provide auto insurance coverage for
vehicles driven primarily for business/commercial use. (Not sure if
this applies to you? We show you a checklist to help you figure out
if business/commercial use applies to you when you get your car insurance
quote.)
