Insurance coverage options for a Jeep Patriot

Learning about specific coverages of insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability car insurance – Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for claims such as bail bonds, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive insurance – This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a bird, theft and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for things like ambulance fees, dental work and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a 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 getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Patriot resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Jeep Patriot.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
