Having a good grasp of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types found on most insurance policies.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage covers damage to your Sierra Classic 1500 caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for things like sideswiping another vehicle, driving through your garage door and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your GMC Sierra Classic 1500.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses for doctor visits, funeral costs, ambulance fees and prosthetic devices. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Liability coverage
This will cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover 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. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as medical services, pain and suffering and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as fire damage, hitting a bird, rock chips in glass and hitting a deer. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
