Tom is considering making changes to his policy to make insurance more affordable. Which of the following statements is not something Tom should consider when making changes to his policy?
Answer
A
Increasing the deductible on collision insurance will reduce his overall monthly and annual expense, but will lead to more out-of-pocket expense if he is in a collision.
B
Removing comprehensive insurance will reduce his overall expense, but will leave Tom entirely responsible for the cost of a new windshield if he hits a rock on the highway.
C
Increasing the limits on his bodily injury insurance will reduce his overall expense by putting greater limits on how much the insurance company will pay for injuries.
D
Removing property damage insurance will reduce his overall expense, but will leave Tom responsible for the cost of repairs to any other cars involved with Tom in a collision.
Explanation
Increasing bodily injury coverage limits generally increases the premium because the insurer could have to pay more for injuries—not less. The statement incorrectly claims that raising the limits will reduce Tom’s overall expense. The other statements describe potential savings along with the added costs or risks of removing coverage or increasing a deductible.
