Learning about specific coverages of your policy can help you determine the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Liability car insurance – This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as pain and suffering, bail bonds, attorney fees and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision coverage – This pays for damage to your 9000 from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against claims like hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Saab 9000.
Since a lot of 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 a good idea.
Coverage for medical expenses – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills like doctor visits, dental work, hospital visits and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as fire damage, hitting a deer, damage from flooding, vandalism and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
