Car insurance coverages for a 1995 Volvo 850

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays for damage to your 850 from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers claims like damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail, hitting a mailbox and sideswiping another vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Comprehensive insurance

This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like falling objects, damage from getting keyed and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills for rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits, hospital visits, ambulance fees and EMT expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
