Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as theft, a broken windshield and hitting a bird. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto liability – This can cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers things like pain and suffering, structural damage, attorney fees, legal defense fees and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like doctor visits, X-ray expenses and rehabilitation expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover you and your occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2009 Ford Expedition EL.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Collision coverages – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Expedition EL caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims like sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
