Auto insurance coverage information

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision coverage – This pays for damage to your Sienna resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against things like hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter, backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical expense insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills such as surgery, doctor visits, hospital visits, prosthetic devices and funeral costs. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers 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 damage from flooding, a broken windshield, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and fire damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Liability coverages – Liability coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, 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. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for things like emergency aid, medical services, legal defense fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
