Car insurance coverage considerations

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most car insurance policies.

Collision insurance

This pays for damage to your Prizm resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things like hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Chevy Prizm.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liability limits.

Coverage for liability

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

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 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage protects against things such as legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like a broken windshield, fire damage, theft, damage from getting keyed and hitting a deer. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for things like chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses, nursing services, surgery and ambulance fees. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
