Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a bird, hitting a deer, theft, vandalism and a broken windshield. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills for hospital visits, doctor visits, pain medications and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability can pay for things like pain and suffering, emergency aid, attorney fees and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
As you shop your coverage around, you should never buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many instances, drivers have reduced collision coverage and found out when filing a claim that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your goal should be to purchase plenty of coverage for the lowest price while still protecting your assets.
