Car insurance coverages explained

Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Dodge Avenger.

Since a lot of 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 a good idea. Frequently these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like hitting a deer, a broken windshield, vandalism and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, pain medications and hospital visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Auto liability insurance – Liability coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things such as funeral expenses, medical services, repair costs for stationary objects and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
