Tailor your auto insurance coverage to you

When buying adequate coverage, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Each situation is unique so your insurance needs to address that. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine if your insurance needs will benefit from professional help.

• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
• How high should my uninsured/underinsured coverage be in my state?
• Is my trailer covered?
• How high should deductibles be on a 2005 Cadillac DeVille?
• Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
• How much can I save by bundling my policies?
• Can my babysitter drive my car?
• Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?
• Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or click here for a list of auto insurance companies in your area.

Insurance coverage considerations

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Cadillac DeVille.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for bills for EMT expenses, nursing services and surgery. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers things such as funeral expenses, court costs and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage

This covers damage to your DeVille caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
