Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Infiniti QX60.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Collision coverage protection
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your QX60 from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive coverages
This covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane, rock chips in glass, hitting a deer and vandalism. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
Auto liability
Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage protects against things like medical services, structural damage, bail bonds, funeral expenses and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible.
Coverage for medical payments
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses such as ambulance fees, nursing services, prosthetic devices and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
People switch companies for a variety of reasons including questionable increases in premium, high rates after DUI convictions, not issuing a premium refund and even delays in responding to claim requests. Regardless of your reason, switching companies is pretty easy and you might even save some money in the process.
When buying insurance coverage, it’s very important that you do not buy poor coverage just to save money. In too many instances, an accident victim reduced physical damage coverage only to regret they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The aim is to buy a smart amount of coverage for the lowest cost and still be able to protect your assets.
