Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 1993 Cadillac Brougham.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Usually these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like hitting a bird, a broken windshield, rock chips in glass and damage from flooding. The most your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Liability car insurance
Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers claims such as court costs, pain and suffering and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like doctor visits, X-ray expenses and funeral costs. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover 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 universally available and may carry a deductible
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers claims such as hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
