Concept guides
Liability terminology
Liability is the most commonly misunderstood term in our reading studies. It pays for harm you cause to other people and their property, never for your own vehicle.
Two parts: bodily injury and property damage
Collision concepts
Collision applies when your vehicle hits, or is hit by, another vehicle or object. We walk through what counts as a collision and how the deductible interacts with the payout.
Damage from impact, regardless of fault
Comprehensive concepts
Comprehensive covers non-collision events such as theft, hail, fire, and animal strikes. The phrase full coverage has no standard definition, which is a frequent source of confusion.
Non-collision events only
Deductibles
A deductible is subtracted from a covered claim before payment. We illustrate the arithmetic with worked examples and explain why deductibles apply per claim.
Claim amount minus deductible equals payment
Limits
Limit notation confuses many readers. Each number is a maximum, expressed in thousands, for a specific category of loss. We decode the notation step by step.
Per person, per accident, property damage
Exclusions
Exclusions define what a policy does not cover. We explain typical exclusion categories and show where they usually appear in a policy document.
