Car insurance coverages for a 2001 Acura TL

Understanding the coverages of your car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the normal coverages found on the average car insurance policy.

Collision protection

This pays for damage to your TL caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as damaging your car on a curb, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter, driving through your garage door and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Acura TL.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills for things like funeral costs, hospital visits, EMT expenses and doctor visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability car insurance

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

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 means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims like funeral expenses, medical expenses, medical services, emergency aid and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like damage from flooding, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
