Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses for surgery, X-ray expenses and ambulance fees. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Collision coverages – This pays for damage to your Eclipse Spyder caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things like backing into a parked car, crashing into a ditch and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects, fire damage, a broken windshield and hail damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Liability car insurance – Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people. It protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.
