Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses for hospital visits, surgery, rehabilitation expenses, ambulance fees and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Liability coverage
Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability can pay for things such as funeral expenses, bail bonds and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as vandalism, rock chips in glass, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and a broken windshield. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision protection
This pays for damage to your S-Class resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things like scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
