Insurance coverages and their meanings

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Collision coverage – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things like driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building, sideswiping another vehicle and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills for X-ray expenses, nursing services and funeral costs. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Auto liability – This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means 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 limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things such as pain and suffering, medical services, court costs and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hail damage, falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane and rock chips in glass. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Scion xB.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
