Car insurance coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Medical costs insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for immediate expenses for prosthetic devices, funeral costs, X-ray expenses and EMT expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM Coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Lexus ES 300.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed and damage from flooding. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers claims such as medical services, legal defense fees and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your ES 300 resulting from a 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 pays for claims such as hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building, backing into a parked car and colliding with a tree. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
