Insurance policy specifics

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects, pain and suffering and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Shadow caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for immediate expenses for things like prosthetic devices, nursing services, dental work, hospital visits and pain medications. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hail damage, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 1991 Dodge Shadow.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
