Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.
Auto liability insurance
Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as court costs, structural damage, medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
Insurance for medical payments
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses such as chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses and hospital visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as a broken windshield, theft, damage from flooding and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. 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 not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision protection
Collision insurance pays for damage to your C/K 2500 Series resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for claims like sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Chevy C/K 2500 Series.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.
