Car insurance 101

Knowing the specifics of car insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Car insurance terms can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like rock chips in glass, hail damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from getting keyed. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like loss of income, structural damage, medical services and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision protection

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Sequoia resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as hospital visits, doctor visits and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
