Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Collision coverages – This pays for damage to your Town and Country from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things such as colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Coverage for liability – This can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover 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. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, 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 a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage pays for claims like medical expenses, funeral expenses and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as rock chips in glass, damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum 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.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your 1995 Chrysler Town and Country.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Coverage for medical expenses – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses such as hospital visits, funeral costs, EMT expenses, pain medications and ambulance fees. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
