Detailed coverages of your auto insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find the normal coverages available from auto insurance companies.

Collision coverages – This will pay to fix damage to your Murano resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical expense insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for bills for things like dental work, hospital visits, X-ray expenses and chiropractic care. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Nissan Murano.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Liability car insurance – This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

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. You might see values 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 $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for things such as repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, structural damage, medical expenses and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft, vandalism and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
