Coverages available on your policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are typical coverage types offered by auto insurance companies.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for doctor visits, EMT expenses, surgery and X-ray expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as theft, fire damage and falling objects. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability coverages

This will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims like legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, funeral expenses and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your BMW M3.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
