Liability insurance provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage, loss of income and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for expenses such as nursing services, dental work, hospital visits and rehabilitation expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like a broken windshield, hail damage, hitting a deer and rock chips in glass. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Collision insurance pays for damage to your RAV4 EV caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things like damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
