Car insurance coverages and their meanings

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2013 Lexus LS 600h L.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims like funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses like rehabilitation expenses, ambulance fees, surgery and doctor visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverages

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as hitting a bird, theft, fire damage, falling objects and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
