Insurance policy coverages for a 2010 Cadillac DTS

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

UM/UIM Coverage

This gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Cadillac DTS.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverage protection

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

Collision insurance covers things like crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for liability

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for things such as loss of income, funeral expenses and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Medical costs insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses such as nursing services, rehabilitation expenses, surgery, funeral costs and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a bird, hail damage and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
