Auto insurance coverage information

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Collision coverage – This covers damage to your Sierra 3500 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like scraping a guard rail, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical expense insurance – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills for things like funeral costs, EMT expenses and chiropractic care. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your GMC Sierra 3500.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like rock chips in glass, hitting a bird, a broken windshield, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hail damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability coverages – This can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, medical expenses, structural damage, loss of income and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
