Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers injuries and property damage you cause to others. Rhode Island's 25/50/25 minimums leave significant gaps for seniors with home equity or retirement accounts.
Comprehensive Coverage
Pays for non-collision damage including weather, theft, vandalism, and animal strikes. Particularly valuable for coastal Rhode Island residents facing nor'easter damage and salt corrosion.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Rhode Island requires insurers to offer this at your liability limits, though you may reject it in writing.
Collision Coverage
Covers damage to your vehicle in an at-fault accident or single-vehicle crash, minus your deductible. Most valuable for vehicles worth more than $4,000.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays medical expenses for you and your passengers regardless of fault, typically in $1,000–$10,000 increments. Supplements Medicare by covering copays and deductibles immediately after an accident.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage in a single policy. Provides maximum protection for seniors with financed vehicles or substantial assets to protect.
