Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from flooding, falling objects and fire damage. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses such as surgery, chiropractic care, EMT expenses and nursing services. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision coverages – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability car insurance – Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Some companies may use a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims such as medical expenses, structural damage, emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Volvo V70.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
