Liability auto insurance
This coverage can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability insurance covers things like legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Medical costs insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for chiropractic care, EMT expenses and nursing services. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to 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 is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
UM/UIM Coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Hyundai Elantra Touring.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.
Collision coverage protection
This covers damage to your Elantra Touring resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things like crashing into a building, driving through your garage door and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from 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 coverage pays for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage, falling objects and hitting a bird. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
