Insurance coverage breakdown

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses like hospital visits, surgery, funeral costs and prosthetic devices. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision – Collision insurance covers damage to your STS caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims like sideswiping another vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like falling objects, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability auto insurance – This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property in an accident. It protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t 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. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers things such as loss of income, pain and suffering and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Cadillac STS.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
