Understanding the coverages of insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills for things like dental work, prosthetic devices, doctor visits and chiropractic care. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2008 Audi A5.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability insurance covers claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income, emergency aid, bail bonds and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as theft, damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, fire damage and rock chips in glass. The most your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
People change insurance companies for any number of reasons including high rates after DUI convictions, an unsatisfactory settlement offer, lack of trust in their agent and extreme rates for teen drivers. Whatever your reason, finding a great new company is actually quite simple.
When shopping online for auto insurance, do not buy less coverage just to save a little money. There are many occasions where an accident victim reduced comprehensive coverage or liability limits to discover at claim time that it was a big error on their part. Your objective should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price.
