Parts of your insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Liability coverages

Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover 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 policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for things such as pain and suffering, funeral expenses, medical expenses, bail bonds and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills like chiropractic care, hospital visits, prosthetic devices and X-ray expenses. 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 in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Auto collision coverage

This coverage pays for damage to your Cooper Roadster resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims such as crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your 2013 MINI Cooper Roadster.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive coverage

This will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like hail damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield and theft. The most your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
