Car insurance specifics

Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2008 Suzuki SX4.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield, theft and hail damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability coverage

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things such as attorney fees, court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services and funeral expenses. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Collision protection

This covers damage to your SX4 caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers claims such as crashing into a building, damaging your car on a curb, sustaining damage from a pot hole and hitting a parking meter. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills for dental work, prosthetic devices, hospital visits, surgery and doctor visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
