Insurance coverages 101

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from insurance companies.

Collision insurance

This covers damage to your Liberty resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a ditch, rolling your car, hitting a parking meter and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not 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. You might see values of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for things like bail bonds, structural damage, court costs and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.

Medical expense coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for nursing services, X-ray expenses, funeral costs and hospital visits. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like rock chips in glass, fire damage, falling objects and a broken windshield. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your 2002 Jeep Liberty.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
