Do I need special coverages?

When choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s needs are different and your policy should reflect that. For example, these questions may help you determine if you could use an agent’s help.

• Am I getting all the discounts available?
• Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in my state?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
• Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
• What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to a licensed agent.

Information about specific coverages

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like EMT expenses, surgery, doctor visits, funeral costs and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hail damage, hitting a bird and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for collisions

This will pay to fix damage to your Ranger resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things such as driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things such as emergency aid, attorney fees and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
