Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.
Collision protection
Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your XL-7 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for things such as crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
Liability car insurance
This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability insurance covers claims like loss of income, repair costs for stationary objects, attorney fees and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as rock chips in glass, damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Coverage for medical expenses
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses like surgery, nursing services, funeral costs, dental work and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
