Car insurance coverage considerations

Having a good grasp of car insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

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

Collision coverage protects against claims like backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive protection – This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as falling objects, hail damage, hitting a deer and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Liability coverages – Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. Liability 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. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers things like medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage – This coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Volvo S70.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical expense coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, nursing services, X-ray expenses and ambulance fees. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
