Tailor your coverage to you

When it comes to buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is a little different so your insurance needs to address that. For example, these questions could help you determine if your situation may require specific advice.

  • Why am I required to buy liability insurance?
  • Do I need replacement cost coverage?
  • Am I covered when using my vehicle for business?
  • What is PIP insurance?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
  • Am I covered if I wreck a rental car?
  • Is my trailer covered?

If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It is quick, free and can help protect your family.

Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses like surgery, hospital visits, X-ray expenses, doctor visits and chiropractic care. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix 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 insurance covers things such as vandalism, fire damage, falling objects, a broken windshield and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your GMC Sierra 2500HD.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Collision insurance

Collision insurance covers damage to your Sierra 2500HD resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like rolling your car, scraping a guard rail and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability insurance

This can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against things like medical services, court costs, bail bonds and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
