Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as ambulance fees, nursing services and pain medications. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers 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
Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hitting a deer, hitting a bird, theft and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Colorado from colliding with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers claims such as sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a ditch, rolling your car and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
This provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers claims such as loss of income, emergency aid, court costs, attorney fees and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
