Do I just need basic coverages?

When choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no best way to insure your cars. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

For example, these questions might help in determining whether you might need professional guidance.

  • Do I need added coverage for expensive stereo equipment?
  • How does medical payments coverage work?
  • When would I need additional glass coverage?
  • How can I force my company to pay a claim?
  • At what point should I drop full coverage?
  • Where can I find high-risk insurance?

Insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things like colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage

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

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like fire damage, damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability car insurance

This will cover damage that occurs to people or other property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that translate to a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things such as legal defense fees, emergency aid and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses like nursing services, ambulance fees and doctor visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
