Auto insurance coverages

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses such as EMT expenses, ambulance fees and surgery. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from flooding, rock chips in glass, a broken windshield and theft. The highest amount a 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.

Liability

This coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims such as bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees and court costs. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2003 Toyota Matrix.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
