Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2009 HUMMER H2 SUT.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism, hail damage, rock chips in glass and damage from flooding. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision 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 insurance covers things like hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Liability car insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. Liability 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. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things like court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses for things like ambulance fees, funeral costs, nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and surgery. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
