The coverage is in the details

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the normal coverages available from insurance companies.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as vandalism, hitting a deer and hail damage. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Subaru Legacy.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like EMT expenses, X-ray expenses, chiropractic care and pain medications. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Liability – Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like medical services, emergency aid, medical expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.
