Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Cadillac Brougham.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hitting a bird, falling objects, rock chips in glass and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision – This will pay to fix damage to your Brougham from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers things such as rolling your car, scraping a guard rail, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability insurance – This will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability can pay for claims such as pain and suffering, court costs and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills like pain medications, surgery, hospital visits, chiropractic care and rehabilitation expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
