Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like fire damage, rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2000 Mercury Mystique.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Insurance for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for ambulance fees, pain medications, nursing services and prosthetic devices. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Mystique from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for claims like scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Auto liability insurance – This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability insurance covers claims such as structural damage, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income and court costs. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
