Covers medical bills and property damage if you’re at fault. (Legally required in Mississippi)

Collision Coverage

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Helps cover costs if you're hit by someone without enough (or any) insurance — more common than you think.

Pays medical expenses for you and your passengers, regardless of fault.
