Car insurance coverage information

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Cadillac Escalade.

Since a lot of 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 important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Escalade resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter, scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like falling objects, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses for doctor visits, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits, X-ray expenses and surgery. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Liability auto insurance

This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 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 claims such as legal defense fees, court costs, bail bonds and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
