How to know if you need help

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and your policy should reflect that. For instance, these questions can aid in determining if you could use an agent’s help.

• Does my medical payments coverage pay my health insurance deductible?
• Is my 1998 Mazda MPV covered for smoke damage?
• How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
• Do I have coverage if my license is suspended?
• When would I need rental car insurance?
• Do I need PIP coverage since I have good health insurance?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• If my 1998 Mazda MPV is totaled, can I afford another vehicle?
• Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Insurance coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.

UM/UIM Coverage – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Mazda MPV.

Since 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 should not be overlooked.

Collision coverage – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your MPV from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims like backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch, rolling your car and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability coverages – Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not 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. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical services, legal defense fees, repair costs for stationary objects, pain and suffering and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Medical costs insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses such as chiropractic care, pain medications, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a bird, a broken windshield and falling objects. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
