Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for things like rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits, chiropractic care, pain medications and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance
This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism and damage from getting keyed. The most 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 it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Pontiac Aztek.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Auto liability
This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against things like structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses, loss of income and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
Collision insurance
This will pay to fix damage to your Aztek caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for claims like driving through your garage door, colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
