Understanding the coverages of insurance helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from flooding, falling objects, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and theft. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Volvo 740.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Collision protection
Collision insurance covers damage to your 740 resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers claims like driving through your garage door, rolling your car, colliding with a tree, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability coverages
This can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage pays for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Insurance for medical payments
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills such as EMT expenses, hospital visits, nursing services and rehabilitation expenses. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
