Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the normal coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover 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 commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers claims such as structural damage, pain and suffering and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a bird, damage from flooding, hitting a deer, hail damage and a broken windshield. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Malibu resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Chevy Malibu.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Usually these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Coverage for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills like funeral costs, prosthetic devices, hospital visits and pain medications. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible
