Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Collision coverage – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your S4 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for things such as hitting a parking meter, scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Auto liability insurance – Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers claims such as structural damage, attorney fees, medical services, court costs and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive insurance – This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as hail damage, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as dental work, surgery, hospital visits, ambulance fees and X-ray expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Normally these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
