They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance.

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your 2011 Lexus RX 450h.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage, court costs and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from 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 like fire damage, falling objects and hitting a bird. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
