Coverages available on your car insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the usual coverages found on the average car insurance policy.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like EMT expenses, doctor visits, pain medications and ambulance fees. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things such as hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability insurance

This can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for things like loss of income, structural damage and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages

This 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 can pay for things such as fire damage, hitting a bird and hitting a deer. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
