Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Liability auto insurance – Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things like emergency aid, medical services, funeral expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage – Collision insurance covers damage to your Dakota resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things like colliding with a tree, crashing into a building, driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Insurance for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills for things like rehabilitation expenses, prosthetic devices, EMT expenses, surgery and funeral costs. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 1993 Dodge Dakota.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass and falling objects. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
