Car insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the usual coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Most of the time these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Auto collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims like colliding with a tree, crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses like X-ray expenses, chiropractic care, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and dental work. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects and theft. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability coverages

Liability insurance protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 bodily injury coverage, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims like legal defense fees, emergency aid and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
