Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
Liability coverages – This can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, 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 combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability can pay for claims such as emergency aid, court costs, loss of income, medical expenses and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage and falling objects. The most your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like nursing services, EMT expenses, hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Buick Reatta.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Collision – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Reatta resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision insurance covers things like crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle, rolling your car and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
