Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the normal coverages available from car insurance companies.
Coverage for medical expenses – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for X-ray expenses, chiropractic care, doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses and pain medications. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Liability coverage – This protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage protects against things like court costs, emergency aid, loss of income and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
Comprehensive car insurance – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a bird, theft and rock chips in glass. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision coverages – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers claims like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Kia Rio.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
