Insurance coverage options for a 2009 Lexus LX 570

Having a good grasp of insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Auto liability – This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like attorney fees, emergency aid and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Collision – Collision insurance pays for damage to your LX 570 resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers things like colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

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

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hitting a deer, damage from getting keyed, falling objects and hitting a bird. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses for prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses, EMT expenses, funeral costs and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover you and your occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible
