Auto insurance coverage breakdown

Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Collision – This coverage pays for damage to your Prius v resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims like damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a ditch and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive coverages – This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from flooding, fire damage and a broken windshield. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability – Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for 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 commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, pain and suffering and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Prius v.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Usually these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
