Coverages available on your policy

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability coverages – This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. It protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things such as pain and suffering, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds, structural damage and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage – This gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Collision coverages – This coverage pays for damage to your SLK-Class caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical expense coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses for X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices, EMT expenses and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive protection – This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like a broken windshield, damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
