What coverages are included in a California auto policy?

A typical policy bundles separate coverages: liability (pays others you injure), collision and comprehensive (your vehicle), medical payments, and uninsured/underinsured motorist (your injuries when the at-fault driver can't pay). Each has its own limits.

Does my liability coverage pay for my own injuries?

No. Liability pays people you injure. Your own injuries are covered by the at-fault driver's liability coverage — or by your own med-pay and uninsured motorist coverage when theirs falls short.
