The coverage is in the details

Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as vandalism, falling objects and hitting a bird. The most your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Collision coverages – Collision coverage covers damage to your Mazda6 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for short-term medical expenses for ambulance fees, funeral costs, pain medications, dental work and hospital visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Mazda Mazda6.

Due to the fact that many 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 should not be overlooked. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability coverage – This will cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like attorney fees, loss of income, funeral expenses, bail bonds and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
