When in doubt talk to an agent

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For instance, these questions can help discover if you will benefit from professional help.

• Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
• Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
• Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Do I need rental car coverage?
• Am I covered by my spouse’s policy after a separation?
• If my 2002 Acura TL is totaled, can I afford another vehicle?
• Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
• Is my state a no-fault state?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form.

Insurance coverage options for a 2002 Acura TL

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision coverage – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills for things like hospital visits, surgery and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a bird, damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability coverage – Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for things like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
