Insurance coverage basics

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Hyundai Accent.

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. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like hitting a deer, damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as doctor visits, surgery, prosthetic devices, dental work and hospital visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability auto insurance – This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability 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. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, 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 limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income, bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims like scraping a guard rail, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
