Car insurance 101

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Insurance for medical payments – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like rehabilitation expenses, prosthetic devices, hospital visits, pain medications and chiropractic care. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as hitting a deer, theft, fire damage, rock chips in glass and falling objects. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability car insurance – This protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, emergency aid, funeral expenses and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your 2015 Scion tC.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Normally these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Collision – This will pay to fix damage to your tC resulting from colliding 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 colliding with a tree, scraping a guard rail and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
