Liability insurance
This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability insurance covers things such as court costs, pain and suffering and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.
UM/UIM Coverage
This coverage provides protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as rock chips in glass, falling objects, fire damage and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Medical costs insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like X-ray expenses, dental work, surgery and hospital visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible
Collision coverage protection
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers things like colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
