Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from insurance companies.
Collision protection
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for claims like backing into a parked car, rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer and a broken windshield. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses such as funeral costs, nursing services and chiropractic care. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Cadillac CTS-V Coupe.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Liability
Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against claims like attorney fees, legal defense fees and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
