Collision

Collision provides coverage when you collide with another vehicle or object including curbs, posts, trees, pot holes and upset or rolling the vehicle. This is also an optional coverage but is required if you have a lease or a loan on your RV.

Comprehensive

This is an optional coverage but required if you have a lease or loan on your RV. If Comprehensive is purchased and there were a loss, the repairs would be taken care of by the insurance company minus your deductible you chose to buy. If there is a total i.e. fire or theft, the vehicle would be settled on an ACV Actual Cash Value basis which is Replacement Cost minus depreciation minus your deductible or in more simple terms you can go to your local newspaper and see what others with a similar vehicle and miles is selling theirs for minus your deductible equals the settlement.

Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle for most everything except collision or upset of the vehicle.

Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist

Underinsured & Uninsured Motorist give you protection against those who are not carrying the mandated Michigan no-fault coverages, or don’t have sufficient limits to satisfy a claim. In fact, it’s reported that approximately 20% of Michigan drivers are driving with out insurance.

Personal Injury Protection

Personal Injury Protection will pay for all reasonable medical expenses and up to three years of wages subject to a maximum of 85% of your income with a maximum monthly cap of $5452 indexed yearly around each October 1st. It also provides for mileage for the trips to and from a doctors office, replacement services which is a person who steps in and replaces you to perform the services you would have performed had you not been injured i.e. cleaning, cooking, grass cutting etc. however there is a cap of $20 per day.

This is the where Michigan stands above and beyond all other states on its auto coverage. The medical benefits afforded by PIP Personal Injury Protection under the Michigan No Fault coverage is “LIFETIME”. Yes lifetime! This is why we have the highest auto premiums in the country. The second most generous state when it comes to medical benefits is the state of New York with $50,000, a mere pittance when we talk about severe injuries.
