John has a car accident. His repair shop estimates the cost of repairs at $2,000. John pays $750 of the bill and his insurance company pays the remainder.
LIMITS The maximum dollar amount the insurer will pay following an auto accident. Limits vary with each coverage within the policy.
DEDUCTIBLES Payments you have to make before the insurer pays. For example, a $750 deductible means that you pay the first $750 of each claim.
