Liability coverages – Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
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 values of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability can pay for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds, loss of income, structural damage and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
Collision – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a ditch and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Coverage for medical expenses – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses for things like X-ray expenses, ambulance fees and nursing services. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from flooding, hitting a bird, vandalism, hitting a deer and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
