Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverage types found on most auto insurance policies.
Collision – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for things such as crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability auto insurance – This can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, bail bonds and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like vandalism, falling objects, hitting a bird, hitting a deer and damage from flooding. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for things like dental work, prosthetic devices, funeral costs and pain medications. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 2011 Chrysler 300.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
