Split Limit
-
Split limit coverage means liability coverage afforded on a per person and per accident basis. For example, bodily injury liability coverage of $25,000/$50,000 means a maximum of $25,000 is available per person and a total of $50,000 is available per accident regardless of the number of bodily injury claimants.
Single Limit
-
Single limit coverage means liability coverage afforded on a per accident basis only. For example, liability coverage of $25,000 means a maximum of $25,000 is available per person and per accident regardless of the number of bodily injury claimants and property damage claims. According to the CarsDirect website, in this example, all claims must share in the pot of $25,000.
