Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Collision protection
This coverage covers damage to your Diamante from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers claims like colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail, driving through your garage door and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive protection
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield, hitting a bird and damage from flooding. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Liability coverage
This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against claims like legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Medical expense coverage
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses for things like surgery, pain medications and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Uninsured or underinsured coverage
This gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mitsubishi Diamante.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Frequently these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
