Specific coverages for a Subaru Baja

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Subaru Baja.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Normally these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for dental work, chiropractic care, ambulance fees, funeral costs and pain medications. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverage

This will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims like structural damage, attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims like driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, theft, hitting a deer and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay 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.
