Coverages available on your auto insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the normal coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Medical expense insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses like hospital visits, EMT expenses, doctor visits, funeral costs and nursing services. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Liability coverage

Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property. It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as bail bonds, funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer, theft, damage from getting keyed and hail damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Volvo XC90.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your XC90 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 things like damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
