Car insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages found on the average car insurance policy.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

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

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from flooding, falling objects and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for claims like structural damage, loss of income and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Volvo V70.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, hospital visits and surgery. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Auto collision coverage

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

Collision can pay for things like colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
