Information about specific coverages

Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverage types offered by auto insurance companies.

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 which means 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. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things such as structural damage, funeral expenses, attorney fees and medical services. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

This pays for damage to your GX 470 resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like ambulance fees, X-ray expenses, nursing services, doctor visits and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Lexus GX 470.

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. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as rock chips in glass, falling objects, fire damage, a broken windshield and theft. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
