Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your 2010 Acura RL.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Comprehensive insurance
This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hail damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield and rock chips in glass. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for liability
Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see policy limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, attorney fees and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for bills for prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, EMT expenses and surgery. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Collision protection
This coverage covers damage to your RL resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers claims such as crashing into a ditch, colliding with another moving vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s very important that you do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. There are too many instances where someone sacrificed uninsured motorist or liability limits only to regret at claim time they didn’t have enough coverage. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.
