Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Coverage for liability – This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage pays for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims like rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as fire damage, falling objects, rock chips in glass, damage from flooding and hail damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Kia Borrego.
Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Coverage for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits, surgery and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
