Coverage That Goes Beyond the Basics

auto insurance

Auto insurance helps protect you financially if you’re involved in an accident — but not all policies are the same.

At Lehmann Insurance Agency, we help drivers across New Berlin and Southeastern Wisconsin understand their coverage and choose policies that truly protect them. Whether you’re insuring a new vehicle, adding a driver, or reviewing your current policy, we’ll guide you through your options so you can make confident decisions.

At a minimum, Wisconsin drivers are required to carry liability coverage, but most people need more than just the basics to be fully protected.

Understanding Your Auto Insurance Coverage Options

A strong auto insurance policy is built from multiple types of coverage working together.

Z

Liability Coverage (Required)

Liability coverage helps pay for injuries or property damage you cause to others in an accident. This includes bodily injury and property damage liability, and it forms the foundation of your policy while helping protect your financial future.
Z

Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage helps protect you if you’re involved in an accident with a driver who has little or no insurance — covering medical expenses and other costs that might otherwise come out of your pocket.
Z

Collision Coverage

Collision coverage helps pay for repairs to your vehicle if it’s damaged in an accident, regardless of who is at fault. This is especially important for newer or higher-value vehicles.
Z

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle from non-collision events such as theft, vandalism, weather damage, or falling objects — helping cover repair or replacement costs in unexpected situations.
Z

Optional Coverages for Added Protection

Additional options like new car replacement, loan or lease gap coverage, roadside assistance, and rental reimbursement can provide extra protection and convenience depending on your needs and situation.
