Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?
When would I need additional glass coverage?
Do I pay less for low miles?

Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance covers damage to your S-15 Jimmy caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for things like doctor visits, pain medications, rehabilitation expenses, EMT expenses and nursing services. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your GMC S-15 Jimmy.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, loss of income and medical services. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from flooding, hitting a deer, fire damage, hail damage and vandalism. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
