Your policy may cover losses in situations where the event that caused them was a covered peril. Here are some examples:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Car accidents. You are in a car accident. The insurance company pays for repairs to your car. They will cover the losses associated with paint damage and recovery as well. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Vandalism. The damage was caused by vandalism. You have comprehensive auto insurance that covers vandalism. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">You are in a hit and run accident and you have uninsured motorist coverage. In these situations, if the insurance company pays for damage to your vehicle, that may include paint work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Your insurance may not cover losses related to wear and tear or damage you cause intentionally. In other cases, you may have some help. If you are unsure, let us clarify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size:16pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri Light&quot;,sans-serif\"><span style=\"color:#2f5496\">Request a Quote and Get the Coverage You Need<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">At Main Street Independent Insurance Agencies Inc. we will help you get the protections necessary for your vehicle.
