Understanding the coverages of your auto insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.
Coverage for liability – This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability can pay for things like court costs, medical expenses, emergency aid, pain and suffering and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
Collision coverage – Collision coverage covers damage to your Flying Spur from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a building, rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2014 Bentley Flying Spur.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hail damage, a broken windshield, falling objects, damage from flooding and vandalism. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills such as surgery, ambulance fees, pain medications, X-ray expenses and EMT expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
