Auto insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverage types found on most car insurance policies.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from flooding, a broken windshield, fire damage, theft and falling objects. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision insurance

This pays for damage to your Altima Hybrid caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things such as driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM Coverage

This provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Nissan Altima Hybrid.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Auto liability insurance

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills such as funeral costs, EMT expenses, dental work and nursing services. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
