3. By Dave Burdick
Auto insurance can be confusing, so let's look at the basic coverage in a policy with an
eye toward spending our money to get the best value.
First is liability coverage. Typically this covers you
and the people on your policy for the damage/injury
they do to others through their negligence while
driving a car. The limits cover bodily injury and
property damage.
For example, 100/300/100 limits means:
• $100,000 per person bodily injury coverage per accident;
• $300,000 for all persons per accident; and
• $100,000 of property damage per accident.
Bodily injury covers such things as medical bills,
rehabilitation, lost wages, pain and suffering. Property
damage includes damage to the other vehicle and any related
damage to buildings, vehicle contents, and clean up of spilled
chemicals or material as a result of the accident. Having
sufficient liability is critical since the driver who causes an accident is responsible for
the charges in excess of the policy limits.

4. Second is uninsured motorist. This coverage protects you from the cost of being hit
by a motorist who has no coverage or whose limits of coverage are less than the
damages he causes in the accident. I usually suggest that the limits for uninsured and
under insured coverage be the same as the liability coverage on the policy.
Premiums for liability coverage are usually very reasonable, representing a good
insurance value. These limits should be selected based on your annual income and
assets.
Comprehensive and collision cover the insured against
damage to their vehicle as a result of falling objects
and theft (comprehensive) or damage the insured does
to their vehicle in an at fault accident.
The decision to carry these two coverages can be analyzed as follows:
• When the deductible plus premium for these coverage is more than 10% of the
vehicle value, then the decision to carry this coverage can be reviewed.
For example, if the deductibles are $500 and the annual QUESTIONS?
premium for comp and collision is $300 (total $800), then the CONTACT ME
decision to carry these coverages should be reviewed if the
value of the vehicle is less than $8,000.
• There is always a “peace of mind” consideration in any insurance decision, so one
should be comfortable with the additional risk they assume when dropping comp
and collision coverage. Some people will be more comfortable with this decision
than others.
