Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.
Liability car insurance – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.
Liability can pay for things such as bail bonds, attorney fees, emergency aid, structural damage and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Cadillac CTS.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
Medical payments coverage and PIP – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills for things like dental work, nursing services and ambulance fees. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like fire damage, hail damage and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision – This coverage pays for damage to your CTS resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as scraping a guard rail, driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
