Car insurance coverage information

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like EMT expenses, hospital visits, funeral costs, dental work and rehabilitation expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like hitting a bird, damage from getting keyed, hail damage and fire damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Sonata Hybrid resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things such as hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree, driving through your garage door and hitting a mailbox. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims like structural damage, medical services and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
