Pennsylvania Auto Insurance Options: Collision Insurance & Comprehensive Insurance

Required Minimum Coverage under Pennsylvania Law:

  • not required
  • usually required by most banks who hold the title to your vehicle when you have an outstanding loan

Our Law Firm's Recommended Minimum Coverage:

  • If you hold the title to your car, you may consider dropping collision and/or comprehensive coverage on older cars worth less than $1,000.

Collision insurance and comprehensive insurance are Many people see "Comprehensive Insurance" on their car insurance policy and think they have "full coverage". Most don't. In reality, comprehensive coverage pays for damages caused by "acts of God" - e.g. lightening strikes or hitting a deer. It goes hand in hand with your collision insurance which pays for damages to your vehicle if you are hit by another car, your car overturns, you back into a pole, etc. Remember: Comprehensive insurance does not mean you are "fully" covered.
