Auto insurance coverages 101

Understanding the coverages of auto insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass and hitting a bird. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car, crashing into a building and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, 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.

Liability insurance

This can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, attorney fees, repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid and court costs. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, surgery, prosthetic devices and chiropractic care. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM Coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 1993 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
