Insurance coverage specifics

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

Coverage for liability – Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims like medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Subaru Forester.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage covers damage to your Forester resulting from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, rolling your car, crashing into a building and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Insurance for medical payments – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, EMT expenses, nursing services, dental work and pain medications. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
