Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses like EMT expenses, X-ray expenses, ambulance fees and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision insurance
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a building and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Coverage for liability
This can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability insurance covers claims such as emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like vandalism, rock chips in glass and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your GMC Envoy.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
