Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for expenses such as doctor visits, nursing services and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage.

This coverage covers damage to your E-250 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against things such as scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, sideswiping another vehicle and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as falling objects, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Usually these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers things such as legal defense fees, court costs, funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
