Car insurance coverage basics

Having a good grasp of your policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are typical coverage types available from car insurance companies.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed and hail damage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your xB resulting from a collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability

Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. 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. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers claims such as medical expenses, loss of income and medical services. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for things like hospital visits, nursing services, funeral costs and pain medications. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
