Having a good grasp of insurance can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types available from insurance companies.
Liability insurance protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability insurance covers things such as medical expenses, emergency aid and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from flooding, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a deer. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills for X-ray expenses, dental work, funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things such as sideswiping another vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, damaging your car on a curb, driving through your garage door and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Ford Edge.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
