Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the usual coverages available from car insurance companies.
Liability coverages
This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit 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, medical services, loss of income and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.
Coverage for medical expenses
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for funeral costs, pain medications, X-ray expenses and EMT expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive car insurance
This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield, fire damage and hitting a bird. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Nissan Rogue.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Normally these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Collision protection
Collision coverage covers damage to your Rogue resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car, crashing into a building, driving through your garage door and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
