Insurance coverage basics

Having a good grasp of insurance can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Lexus GX 460.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability insurance – Liability coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for claims like medical expenses, funeral expenses, emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses like hospital visits, funeral costs, ambulance fees and doctor visits. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Collision – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your GX 460 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things such as backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
