Insurance specifics

Understanding the coverages of insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your V70 resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things like attorney fees, structural damage, medical expenses, funeral expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for doctor visits, ambulance fees, X-ray expenses, funeral costs and EMT expenses. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Volvo V70.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive auto coverage

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

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like hitting a deer, damage from flooding and hitting a bird. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
