This can include things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fire or explosions<\/li>\n<li>Falling objects<\/li>\n<li>Animal strikes (such as hitting a deer)<\/li>\n<li>Severe weather<\/li>\n<li>Theft or vandalism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Comprehensive coverage is optional in\u00a0Georgia, but it may be required by your lender if you have a car loan or lease.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a valuable option for drivers who want financial protection from unpredictable risks that\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0related to driving accidents.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is\u00a0Collision\u00a0Coverage?<\/h2>\n<p>Collision coverage may help pay for damage to your car if\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0involved in an accident, regardless of who is at fault. This typically includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Collisions with other vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Single-car accidents (like hitting a guardrail or tree)<\/li>\n<li>Damage from potholes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Collision coverage is also optional in\u00a0Georgia\u00a0unless required by your lender.
