Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
Coverage for medical expenses
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for bills such as rehabilitation expenses, prosthetic devices, doctor visits and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive car insurance
This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from getting keyed, hitting a bird, rock chips in glass and falling objects. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Liability coverages
Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers things like repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid, medical services, bail bonds and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Collision insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Cutlass Supreme resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
As you prepare to switch companies, never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. In too many instances, an insured cut collision coverage and learned later that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your goal should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
