Liability car insurance
Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as emergency aid, loss of income and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible. Nevada state minimum liability requirements are 15,000/30,000/10,000 but drivers should carry more liability than the minimum.
UM/UIM Coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Toyota Previa.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits (Nevada limits are 15/30/10), it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Normally the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Collision protection
This will pay to fix damage to your Previa resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers claims such as crashing into a building, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as vandalism, theft and damage from flooding. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Medical costs insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for funeral costs, dental work, surgery and hospital visits. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
