Auto Policy Answer 1 E. None of the above - $24,400 Your mailbox is not covered because your auto policy does not cover damages to your property. 2,000 Collision (2,100 – 100 Deductible) + 2,400 Property Damage + 20,000 Bodily Injury Liability (includes med bills) 24,400
Auto Policy 2 Your car is stolen, and you immediately report this to State Farm. You rent a car for $30 a day. State Farm offers to pay you for the loss 8 days after it was stolen. The ACV of your car was $12,000. Your auto policy will pay: • $0 • $12,000 • $12,200 • $12,240 • None of the above
Auto Policy Answer 2 C. $12,200 If your car is stolen, your policy will pay up to $25 per day for transportation costs. 25*8= 200 + 12,000 Comprehensive 12,200
Homework #2 Review State Farm Car Policy: Uninsured/Underinsured
Un(der)insured Basics Only covered for un(der)insured in United States and its territories or Canada Un(der)insured covers only bodily injury for you and people in your car If you are not hit by a hit and run driver, your uninsured coverage will not pay! Underinsured will only pay to bring the total coverage of the other driver to 100,000 This includes the driver’s existing coverage Ie. Driver with 15,000 bodily injury liability coverage hits you. Your underinsured will cover up to 85,000 (100,000-15,000)
Un(der)insured Basics (cont.) You can get both un(der)insured coverage and medical payments coverage for the same accident Medical payments pays first Any remaining bodily injury award will be covered under your un(der)insured coverage Example: You are hit by an uninsured driver and incur 10,000 in medical bills. You sue the driver and are entitled to a 200,000 bodily injury award. Medical payments coverage will pay 10,000 200,000-10,000 = 190,000 in bodily injury remains Your insured coverage has a limit of 100,000 So in total, your policy will pay 10,000 (med) + 100,000 (uninsured) = 110,000
Problem #1 While driving your car in California after seeing the Illini demolish the Trojans, you are hit by a car and severely injured.

Problem #2 You are walking to your FIN 230 Final when one of your classmates, afraid of being late, comes speeding down the street and hits you.

Problem #2 - Answer Correct answer: D Both medical and un(der)insured coverage apply if you a struck by a motor vehicle as a pedestrian Medical: $25,000 in medical coverage Uninsured: $200,000 - $25,000 = $175,000, but $100,000 limit Total: $25,000 + $100,000 = $125,000
