Types of car insurance coverage carried with your policy

Posted on March 24th, 2010 in auto insurance | Comments Off

You probably know that your car insurance policy is comprised of different coverage types that each protects you against certain situations you may encounter. And knowing them and their purpose will help you tailor your policy for the best coverage and reasonable price. So before you choose to modify your coverage amounts, make sure you know the essence of the following coverage types:

Bodily injury liability. This type of coverage pays for injuries, harm or death of others caused by you while you were behind the wheel of the car included in the policy. It will also cover for your legal expenses if the other driver involved in the accident will sue you. However, this type of coverage doesn’t protect you or other people in your policy, nor it covers the damage to your vehicle. That’s why it makes sense to have a high enough amount of it in order to make sure your assets are protected in case the other party files a suit against you for injury, loss of income or pain.

Comprehensive. This type of insurance pays for the damage of your vehicle resulted from causes other than collision. For example, this type of coverage will kick in if your car gets stolen, damaged by a fallen tree, storm or flood. It will also pay for repairing your vehicle in full amount minus the deductible that you are free to choose when signing your policy. Deductible is the amount of money you are willing to pay from your pocket before getting actually covered. And the higher is your deductible the lower will be your rates.

Collision. As the name suggests, this type of coverage kicks in when your car gets into collision with another vehicle or an object (fence, pole, sign, etc,). It will pay for the repair, minus the deductible. The rule of deductible applies just as with Comprehensive coverage. And because the amount of this coverage is typically defined by the cash value of your car, older vehicles usually have no sense of carrying such coverage. Read the rest of this entry »
