Car insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Auto liability – This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for claims like bail bonds, structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, court costs and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses like dental work, rehabilitation expenses, chiropractic care, nursing services and prosthetic devices. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Tahoe resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims like hitting a mailbox, rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your 2010 Chevy Tahoe.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like damage from flooding, rock chips in glass and fire damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
