BODILY
INJURY Bodily Injury
coverage pays for any person(s) injured or killed in an
accident where you are at fault. Coverage includes medical
expenses and lost wages. These coverages are subject to
the limits and conditions of your policy. Most states require
drivers to carry Bodily Injury coverage. |
PROPERTY
DAMAGE In a collision
where you are at fault, Property Damage covers your liability
for damaging another person's personal property, such as
an automobile, house or fence. |
UNINSURED / UNDERSINSURED
MOTORIST Uninsured
Motorist coverage protects you, members of your household
and your passengers in an accident with a motorist who has
no insurance or is underinsured. Uninsured Motorist protection
also covers you if you're injured by a hit-and-run driver.
The coverage also applies to you and the members of your
household as pedestrians. Coverage includes payment of medical
costs, lost wages and pain and suffering. It is required
in many states. In some states or insurance policies, Underinsured
Motorist protection is separate from Uninsured Motorist
coverage. |
MEDICAL
COVERAGE This coverage
pays medical bills and funeral expenses for you or a passenger
injured while riding in your vehicle. Coverage extends to
you or a family member when riding as a passenger in someone
else's vehicle or when struck by a vehicle when on foot.
Costs are covered up to the amount specified by the policy. |
DEDUCTIBLE
The deductible is the amount of the loss
you agree to pay or absorb in the event of a claim or accident.
Let's say you have a $250 deductible. If you have a fender-bender,
and the bodywork costs $1150, you will pay the deductible
- $250, and your insurance company will pay the balance
- $900. With auto insurance, deductible amounts typically
range from $50 to $1,000 per claim. Choosing a higher deductible
reduces the cost of your insurance. |
COLLISION
DAMAGE Collision
coverage pays for damage to your vehicle that results from
a collision with another vehicle or object. Generally, the
coverage reimburses you the amount needed to repair or replace
your damaged vehicle, minus the deductible. This coverage
is normally required if your vehicle is leased or if you
have an outstanding loan on the vehicle. |
COMPREHENSIVE
DAMAGE Comprehensive
coverage protects your investment in your vehicle by paying
for losses resulting from fire, theft, falling objects,
riots, storms, earthquakes, floods, collision with a bird
or animal and other natural occurrences. Like Collision
coverage, Comprehensive coverage generally includes a deductible.
Comprehensive coverage is normally required if your vehicle
is leased or if you have an outstanding loan on the vehicle. |
ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE The
Farmers Tow Program (FARMTOW) provides access to roadside
assistance at any time of the day or night. Not only does
this program provide towing to the nearest qualified repair
facility, but it also provides service for "lock out", battery
"jump start" and other labor charges performed at the place
of your vehicle's disablement. |
RENTAL CAR REINBURSMENT
After a car accident, you may need to rent a car while yours
in being repaired. Car rental reimbursement coverage pays
a flat sum to assist you with the expenses that you may
incur following an auto accident. Farmers has a number of
different plans to fit your lifestyle and budget. |
PERSONAL
UMBRELLA Farmers
Personal Liability Umbrella provides coverage in increments
of $1 million. It supplements your present policies to provide
additional personal liability protection. The Umbrella policy
goes into affect after the underlying liability limits on
your homeowners or auto policy is exhausted. Therefore,
your policy must have certain limits in order to qualify
for an Umbrella policy. |
