Specifics of your auto insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the normal coverages available from auto insurance companies.

Auto liability

This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like structural damage, emergency aid, pain and suffering and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Medical costs insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs, dental work and ambulance fees. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, crashing into a building and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed, vandalism and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Chevy Colorado.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Usually these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
