Medical payments and PIP coverage
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses such as pain medications, chiropractic care and hospital visits. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
Liability insurance
Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for 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 policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive auto coverage
This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hitting a deer, falling objects, a broken windshield, damage from flooding and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Lancer Sportback caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for claims like driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
