Auto insurance coverage considerations

Knowing the specifics of auto insurance helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage pays for damage to your GS F caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things like colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail, rolling your car and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Lexus GS F.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees and medical services. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for doctor visits, ambulance fees, dental work, EMT expenses and nursing services. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like hitting a deer, vandalism and damage from flooding. 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 removing comprehensive coverage.
