What auto insurance coverages do you need?

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Collision protection

This will pay to fix damage to your SSR from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as hitting a parking meter, rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with another moving vehicle and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. It does not 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. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against claims like medical services, pain and suffering, attorney fees and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Medical expense coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for things like pain medications, nursing services and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Chevy SSR.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a deer, damage from flooding and hitting a bird. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
