• Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
• Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?
• Can I afford to pay high deductible claims out of pocket?
• Am I covered if I hit a deer?
• Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
• How much can I save by bundling my policies?
• Do all my vehicles need collision coverage?

Insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hail damage, damage from flooding, theft, fire damage and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills for things like doctor visits, ambulance fees, EMT expenses, hospital visits and chiropractic care. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability coverage

Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property. It protects you against claims from other people. It does not 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. Your policy might show limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability can pay for claims like emergency aid, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, pain and suffering and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your MINI Cooper Roadster.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage covers damage to your Cooper Roadster from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
