Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Coverage for medical payments
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for surgery, rehabilitation expenses and EMT expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Auto liability insurance
This will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage protects against claims like structural damage, pain and suffering, bail bonds, court costs and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
Collision protection
Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your SC 400 caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a parking meter. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Uninsured and underinsured coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Lexus SC 400.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Comprehensive coverages
Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from flooding, rock chips in glass and hitting a deer. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
