Having a good grasp of car insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average car insurance policy.
Liability coverages
This coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as pain and suffering, loss of income, emergency aid, medical expenses and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses such as funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses and pain medications. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive insurance
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from getting keyed, a broken windshield, hitting a bird, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage 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 can pay for things like crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Subaru Outback.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.
