Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of insurance aids in choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as vandalism, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for things such as court costs, structural damage, funeral expenses and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses such as chiropractic care, doctor visits and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building, scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
