Coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are the usual coverages available from car insurance companies.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as hospital visits, prosthetic devices and dental work. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a deer, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for liability

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as structural damage, funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects, bail bonds and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

UM/UIM Coverage

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Lexus LS 430.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Frequently these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Collision protection

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a building, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
