Insurance coverage options for a 2012 Chevy Sonic

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, surgery, dental work and chiropractic care. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from flooding, hail damage, a broken windshield, theft and vandalism. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Chevy Sonic.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Auto collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims like sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for things such as structural damage, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
