Situations that may require an agent’s advice

When choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no one size fits all plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs so your insurance should reflect that For example, these questions might help in determining whether you could use an agent’s help.

• Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?
• Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
• Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
• When can I cancel my policy?
• At what point should I drop full coverage?
• Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?

Coverage specifics

Knowing the specifics of insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from getting keyed, fire damage, hail damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane and vandalism. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability car insurance

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

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for claims like funeral expenses, bail bonds and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses such as nursing services, doctor visits, surgery, pain medications and EMT expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Collision coverage protection

This pays for damage to your Sonata caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like backing into a parked car, crashing into a ditch and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
