Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the usual coverages available from car insurance companies.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for things like dental work, surgery, X-ray expenses, nursing services and EMT expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive coverage
This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as falling objects, vandalism and damage from getting keyed. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision insurance
Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Safari Cargo caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability insurance
Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
