Coverages available on your insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.

Collision – This coverage covers damage to your SC 300 caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Lexus SC 300.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses for dental work, ambulance fees, EMT expenses and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix 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 things like hitting a deer, damage from flooding, vandalism, fire damage and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability coverages – This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover 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. You might see limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds, court costs and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
