Auto insurance coverage information

Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills for pain medications, doctor visits and surgery. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Hyundai XG350.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for claims like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid, attorney fees and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as falling objects, damage from getting keyed and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your XG350 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as hitting a parking meter, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

A penny earned…

As you prepare to switch companies, it’s very important that you do not buy poor coverage just to save money. In many cases, an accident victim reduced liability coverage limits only to find out that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. The proper strategy is to find the BEST coverage at a price you can afford.
