Parts of your car insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the normal coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Coverage for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for things like pain medications, chiropractic care, hospital visits, prosthetic devices and EMT expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Liability insurance – This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance 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. You might see values of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage protects against claims like repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid, pain and suffering and medical services. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like rolling your car, backing into a parked car, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a bird, fire damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed and vandalism. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
