Information about specific coverages

Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of 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 policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Some companies may use 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 things such as structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, court costs and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your S-15 Jimmy from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with a tree, crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 2000 GMC S-15 Jimmy.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Normally these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses like funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses, chiropractic care and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
