Auto insurance policy specifics
Understanding the coverages of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the usual coverages found on most auto insurance policies.
Collision coverage protection
Collision insurance pays for damage to your X5 resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision can pay for things such as damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Auto liability
This can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability can pay for claims such as legal defense fees, attorney fees, emergency aid, medical expenses and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your BMW X5.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Coverage for medical expenses
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses like pain medications, hospital visits and ambulance fees. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive auto insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
