Insurance coverages 101

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage 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 hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical expense coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for expenses for things like ambulance fees, X-ray expenses and pain medications. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for things like emergency aid, attorney fees, medical expenses, court costs and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and damage to your 1990 Lexus ES 250.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as rock chips in glass, fire damage and vandalism. The maximum payout 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.
