Coverage specifics

Understanding the coverages of car insurance can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2012 Audi A8.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your A8 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things like sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Auto liability

This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for claims such as legal defense fees, medical services, structural damage, bail bonds and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for things like funeral costs, nursing services, X-ray expenses and pain medications. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible
