Do I need special coverages?

When choosing the best car insurance coverage, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different.

For instance, these questions might help in determining whether your personal situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Should I have a commercial auto policy?
  • When does my teenage driver need to be added to my policy?
  • Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
  • What are the best liability limits?
  • Do all my vehicles need collision coverage?
  • Are my friends covered when driving my car?

If you’re not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form. It’s fast, free and you can get the answers you need.

Learn about auto insurance coverages for a 2008 Chevy TrailBlazer

Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for ambulance fees, prosthetic devices and EMT expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Auto liability – Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers things such as structural damage, funeral expenses and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive insurance – This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a bird, falling objects and theft. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a mailbox, rolling your car, crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Chevy TrailBlazer.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
