Insurance can be complex

When it comes to buying adequate coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Every situation is different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. These are some specific questions could help you determine if your situation may require specific advice.

• What is medical payments coverage?
• Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
• Is my state a no-fault state?
• Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?
• Is a blown tire covered by insurance?
• Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
• Does insurance cover damages from a DUI accident?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to an agent.

Educate yourself about insurance coverages

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the normal coverages found on most insurance policies.

Collision coverage – This coverage pays for damage to your 4Runner resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Toyota 4Runner.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Liability car insurance – Liability coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property. It protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.

Liability insurance covers claims such as bail bonds, pain and suffering, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses like funeral costs, doctor visits, prosthetic devices, EMT expenses and hospital visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like damage from getting keyed, falling objects and hitting a deer. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
