Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.
Coverage for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for chiropractic care, funeral costs, X-ray expenses and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Mercedes-Benz CL-Class.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Usually these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Liability coverages – Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. It protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against things such as attorney fees, loss of income and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Collision coverage – This coverage covers damage to your CL-Class resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims like colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive coverages – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a deer, damage from getting keyed, hitting a bird, damage from flooding and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
