Auto insurance can be complicated and one of the least understood products purchased. We read “BI/PD 100/300/100” on our policy and wonder what coverage we have. If you find yourself in the position of needing to use your insurance, we want you to know what to expect – no surprises. Beacon Insurance agents take the time to explain the mandates for coverage and other risks you may want to insure. Here are some of the basic definitions for auto insurance:
Collision Coverage: This covers your vehicle if you collide or run into something. This covers collisions with other cars as well as if you were to run into a stationary object like a wall, barrier or bridge.
Comprehensive Coverage: This covers anything that may happen to your car that is not directly related to a collision. This would include things such as theft, fire, and vandalism.
Liability Coverage: This covers damages when you are at fault in an accident, and you damage someone else's car or property. "Liability" means "responsibility," with the two different types being Bodily Injury (BI) and Property Damage (PD). Liability coverage is often mandated by state law.
Medical Payments: This is for any injuries to the driver or passengers that occur if an accident happens while you are driving.
With Beacon Insurance you can be confident our agents will take the time to understand your risks and available coverages, as well as discounts that may apply to you and your family.
