Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.
Medical payments coverage and PIP – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like doctor visits, pain medications, prosthetic devices and X-ray expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Lincoln Continental.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Continental caused by collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a building and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Liability – Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers things like loss of income, funeral expenses, structural damage, legal defense fees and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive coverage – This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism, hitting a bird, a broken windshield and rock chips in glass. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
