• Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
• Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?

Insurance coverages explained

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Collision – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims like rolling your car, driving through your garage door, crashing into a ditch and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hail damage. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses like nursing services, X-ray expenses, ambulance fees, doctor visits and dental work. The coverages can be 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 as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Liability car insurance – This protects you from 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 damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
