Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on most auto insurance policies.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer and damage from flooding. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Town Car from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a mailbox, sustaining damage from a pot hole and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Insurance for medical payments
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for funeral costs, ambulance fees and chiropractic care. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Auto liability insurance
Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability can pay for claims like repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses, legal defense fees, structural damage and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2000 Lincoln Town Car.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
