Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s 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 rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage pays for things such as court costs, medical services, repair costs for stationary objects and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage protects against things such as sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car and crashing into a ditch.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a deer, hail damage and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like surgery, hospital visits, EMT expenses and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Jaguar XK-Series.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Usually the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
People who switch companies do it for a variety of reasons including an unsatisfactory settlement offer, denial of a claim, delays in paying claims or even unfair underwriting practices.
