Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Liability car insurance
Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for 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 commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, medical services, structural damage and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2014 Nissan Frontier.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
Collision insurance
This pays for damage to your Frontier caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive auto coverage
This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like vandalism, a broken windshield and theft. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses like rehabilitation expenses, nursing services and hospital visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
