Insurance coverage considerations

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like theft, a broken windshield and vandalism. The maximum amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Auto collision coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like backing into a parked car, driving through your garage door, rolling your car, colliding with a tree and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property. It protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Another option is a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, bail bonds and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses such as surgery, funeral costs, hospital visits, nursing services and doctor visits. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
