Car insurance coverage basics

Having a good grasp of car insurance helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for things such as medical expenses, structural damage, pain and suffering, medical services and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for short-term medical expenses such as pain medications, funeral costs, surgery and hospital visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism and damage from flooding. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision protection

This coverage pays for damage to your RAV4 resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like sustaining damage from a pot hole, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with another moving vehicle and driving through your garage door. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
