Collision insurance
Collision coverage covers damage to your Sebring resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for things such as backing into a parked car, driving through your garage door, hitting a parking meter and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as damage from flooding, falling objects and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like X-ray expenses, doctor visits, nursing services, surgery and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
This coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Liability coverages
This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. It protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as pain and suffering, funeral expenses, structural damage and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
