Information about specific coverages

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the normal coverages available from insurance companies.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield, rock chips in glass and hitting a bird. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

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

Collision coverage pays for things like backing into a parked car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses like chiropractic care, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Liability coverage – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, medical expenses, attorney fees and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
