Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Liability auto insurance
Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive coverage
This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft and fire damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for things like chiropractic care, pain medications, prosthetic devices and nursing services. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision insurance
This will pay to fix damage to your Sierra 3500HD resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
