Knowing the specifics of insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by insurance companies.
Medical costs insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills for doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs, pain medications and nursing services. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability auto insurance
This protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability insurance covers claims like funeral expenses, court costs, structural damage and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
UM/UIM Coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like theft, damage from getting keyed, hitting a bird and falling objects. The maximum amount 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 it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision insurance
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, sustaining damage from a pot hole and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
