Here are some additional coverage options to consider based on common risks in the state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Collision insurance: <\/strong>Collision insurance pays for a driver\u2019s vehicle repairs after an accident. It also applies to accidents with stationary objects and rollovers.<\/li><li><strong>Comprehensive insurance: <\/strong>Comprehensive insurance pays for a vehicle\u2019s repairs after a non-collision incident, like a flood, fire, theft, vandalism, falling objects, hail storms, and most animal-collision damage; many drivers also pair this with glass coverage.<\/li><li><strong>Uninsured\/Underinsured motorist: <\/strong>UM\/UIM coverage steps in when an at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough to cover your losses; UM is mandatory in West Virginia at not less than the minimum liability limits (<a href=\"https:\/\/code.wvlegislature.gov\/33-6-31\/\">W.
