Insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It 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 liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against claims like medical services, emergency aid, bail bonds and court costs. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses such as chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, rehabilitation expenses and hospital visits. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your SLC-Class caused by 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 can pay for claims such as damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive coverages

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as rock chips in glass, hitting a bird, fire damage and hitting a deer. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
