Having a good grasp of a insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from insurance companies.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as rock chips in glass, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from flooding, fire damage and hitting a deer. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Liability auto insurance – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on 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 limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage protects against things such as pain and suffering, court costs, structural damage, loss of income and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
UM/UIM Coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Kia Soul.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
Medical costs insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for nursing services, prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses and funeral costs. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverages – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Soul resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
