Car insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Car insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the normal coverages found on the average car insurance policy.

Auto liability insurance

This will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t 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. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 which means $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 can pay for claims such as medical services, attorney fees, emergency aid and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as vandalism, a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage and fire damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2005 Subaru Outback.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building and colliding with another moving vehicle. 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.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses like ambulance fees, prosthetic devices, surgery, doctor visits and funeral costs. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
