This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and a broken windshield. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Collision insurance pays for damage to your FX35 from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Infiniti FX35.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property in an accident. Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for things like repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but buy higher limits if possible.
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for things like doctor visits, dental work and hospital visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street.
