Information about specific coverages

Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from car insurance companies.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things like bail bonds, loss of income and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

This will pay to fix damage to your Yaris caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch, sideswiping another vehicle and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Yaris.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like fire damage, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for expenses like EMT expenses, ambulance fees, dental work, surgery and prosthetic devices. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
