When to get professional advice

When buying proper insurance coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is unique so your insurance should reflect that These are some specific questions could help you determine whether or not you will benefit from professional help.

• I have health insurance so do I need medical payments coverage?
• How much can I save by bundling my policies?
• Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• How many claims can I have before being cancelled?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but one or more may apply to you, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Car insurance coverage considerations

Knowing the specifics of car insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Car insurance terms can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are typical coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, ambulance fees, EMT expenses and funeral costs. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Coverage for liability

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for claims like court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, emergency aid, legal defense fees and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from flooding, hail damage, vandalism, a broken windshield and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage pays for damage to your SRX from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a ditch, backing into a parked car, rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Cadillac SRX.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Usually these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
