Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Comprehensive protection – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass and hitting a deer. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision coverage – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Taurus resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims like colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 1994 Ford Taurus.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Normally the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Liability coverage – This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage protects against claims like court costs, medical services, medical expenses, legal defense fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Medical expense coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for things like chiropractic care, funeral costs, nursing services and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
