Accident
A collision involving an automobile and anything that causes damage to the automobile, including other automobiles, telephone poles, buildings, and trees.

Loss Due To Fire Title

Comparative Negligence
The percentage of fault shared by each driver in an accident in which both contribute to causing the collision.

This 17 character number is unique to each vehicle. It identifies characteristics of the vehicle, including manufacturer, year, model, body, engine specifications, and serial number.

Pays for bodily injury or wrongful death caused by an underinsured motor vehicle (that is, a vehicle which is insured, but at an amount that is less than your uninsured motorist bodily injury (UMBI) limits).

Hit and Run
An accident caused by someone who does not stop to assist or provide the required and necessary information.
