Auto insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of your policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices, funeral costs, ambulance fees and doctor visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Collision coverages – This coverage pays for damage to your XLR resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims like hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability auto insurance – This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers claims such as legal defense fees, funeral expenses and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from flooding, fire damage, vandalism and hail damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2007 Cadillac XLR.
