Auto insurance coverages 101

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Toyota Highlander.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Collision – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Highlander from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims like backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Insurance for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses like nursing services, funeral costs and hospital visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism, a broken windshield and falling objects. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability auto insurance – Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers claims such as medical expenses, legal defense fees, funeral expenses, attorney fees and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
