Understanding the coverages of car insurance helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages offered by car insurance companies.
Auto liability
This will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover 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. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability can pay for claims such as emergency aid, loss of income and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Hyundai Accent.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Collision protection
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Accent resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things like sideswiping another vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses like pain medications, dental work, X-ray expenses and surgery. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
