Learn about auto insurance coverages for a Mitsubishi Diamante

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are typical coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Comprehensive insurance – This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like fire damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from flooding. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Mitsubishi Diamante.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Coverage for liability – Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different 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 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Diamante resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for expenses such as EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses, pain medications and chiropractic care. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
