What insurance coverages do I need?

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no cookie cutter policy. Every situation is different.

For example, these questions can aid in determining if your situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?
• Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?
• How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
• Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
• Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
• What is the difference between comprehensive and collision coverage?

If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It only takes a few minutes and can help protect your family.

Specific coverages for a 2008 Dodge Sprinter

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like vandalism, hitting a deer and hitting a bird. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for ambulance fees, nursing services, pain medications and funeral costs. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like sideswiping another vehicle, rolling your car, hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Dodge Sprinter.

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. Normally these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Liability insurance

This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which means 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. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, funeral expenses, court costs, structural damage and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
