Understanding the coverages of car insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)
Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Toyota Paseo.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things such as rock chips in glass, hitting a bird, falling objects, a broken windshield and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Auto liability insurance
This coverage will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see values of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers claims like medical services, legal defense fees, loss of income, bail bonds and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Collision coverage protection
Collision insurance covers damage to your Paseo resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car, sideswiping another vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses such as funeral costs, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
