Educate yourself about insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are typical coverage types found on most insurance policies.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills for X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices and rehabilitation expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

This can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for things such as structural damage, legal defense fees, court costs and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Five Hundred resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things like driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail and hitting a parking meter. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Ford Five Hundred.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
