Auto insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer, fire damage and damage from getting keyed. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Infiniti QX4.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverage – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your QX4 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things such as backing into a parked car, rolling your car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Liability – Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see 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 and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things like repair costs for stationary objects, attorney fees, court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills such as EMT expenses, pain medications and hospital visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
