Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Ohio's 25/50/25 minimum is dangerously low for senior drivers with accumulated assets. A serious crash can result in medical claims exceeding $100,000, and courts allow plaintiffs to pursue personal assets beyond policy limits.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. This is critical in Ohio, where approximately 13% of drivers are uninsured and many others carry only the state minimum.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers deer strikes, hail, theft, and other non-collision damage. Ohio ranks in the top ten states for deer-vehicle collisions, with peak risk in October and November.
Collision Coverage
Pays for damage to your vehicle in an at-fault crash. Senior drivers with paid-off vehicles worth under $4,000 often drop this coverage to save $300–$600 annually, self-insuring the replacement risk.
Medical Payments Coverage
Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers regardless of fault, filling gaps before health insurance deductibles and copays apply. Particularly valuable for seniors on Medicare with Part B deductibles.
Roadside Assistance
Covers towing, battery jump-starts, flat tire changes, and lockout service. Many senior drivers already have this through AAA, but insurance-based coverage often costs less at $2–$5/mo.
