Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as hospital visits, prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, EMT expenses and ambulance fees. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. 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 is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Comprehensive auto coverage
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hail damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Auto liability
This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t 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. You might see values of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage protects against claims like medical services, funeral expenses, structural damage, pain and suffering and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Isuzu Amigo.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Collision insurance
Collision insurance covers damage to your Amigo caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
