Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of auto insurance helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are typical coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Coverage for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for expenses for prosthetic devices, ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses, dental work and X-ray expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2003 Buick Regal.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage covers damage to your Regal resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims like crashing into a ditch, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as a broken windshield, damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding and falling objects. The most a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Liability

This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

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 liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things like emergency aid, medical services and funeral expenses. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
