Auto insurance coverage information

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like a broken windshield, hitting a bird, hail damage, damage from getting keyed and theft. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your SL-Class caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses like rehabilitation expenses, dental work, prosthetic devices, nursing services and doctor visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things such as structural damage, emergency aid and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
