Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like vandalism, hail damage, damage from getting keyed, a broken windshield and falling objects. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Insurance for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills like pain medications, hospital visits, ambulance fees, surgery and nursing services. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Liability insurance – This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 1991 Dodge Ramcharger.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Collision – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Ramcharger caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for things such as scraping a guard rail, crashing into a ditch, hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
