Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Maserati Ghibli.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses and nursing services. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like rock chips in glass, hail damage, theft, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Liability coverage – This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for 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. Your policy might show values of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against things like bail bonds, legal defense fees and medical services. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Collision coverages – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Ghibli resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a building, colliding with a tree, sideswiping another vehicle and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
While you’re price shopping online, do not buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, someone dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits and found out when filing a claim they didn’t have enough coverage. The proper strategy is to find the BEST coverage for the lowest price while still protecting your assets.
