Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.
Liability insurance – Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for things such as court costs, legal defense fees, pain and suffering and funeral expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.
Coverage for medical expenses – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills such as pain medications, ambulance fees, funeral costs, surgery and hospital visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive auto insurance – This will pay to fix 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 like falling objects, hitting a bird and fire damage. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Town and Country resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for things such as sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with a tree and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
