Insurance coverages and their meanings

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Auto collision coverage

This pays for damage to your S8 resulting from a collision 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 things such as colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car, crashing into a building and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed, hitting a bird, fire damage and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses for prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses, nursing services, pain medications and dental work. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims like legal defense fees, funeral expenses and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2013 Audi S8.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
