Specific coverages for a 2015 Chevy Trax

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for claims like legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

UM/UIM Coverage

This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2015 Chevy Trax.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Collision insurance

This will pay to fix damage to your Trax resulting from a 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 coverage protects against things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as falling objects, theft, fire damage and hitting a bird. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like X-ray expenses, doctor visits and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
