Insurance coverages and their meanings

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Auto collision coverage

This pays for damage to your M3 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as hitting a mailbox, sustaining damage from a pot hole, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like theft, hitting a bird, vandalism and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for liability

This protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage protects against claims like bail bonds, structural damage and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your BMW M3.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical expenses

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as doctor visits, hospital visits, X-ray expenses and chiropractic care. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
