Insurance coverage specifics

Knowing the specifics of insurance can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Collision coverage protection

This will pay to fix damage to your Forester resulting from colliding 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 coverage pays for things like backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for 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 coverage protects against claims like damage from flooding, hail damage, vandalism and theft. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and chiropractic care. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Liability

Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability can pay for things such as repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, structural damage and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
