Understanding the coverages of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.
Liability
Liability coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability can pay for claims such as structural damage, medical services, attorney fees, bail bonds and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Collision protection
Collision coverage pays for damage to your Grand Marquis resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage pays for claims like sustaining damage from a pot hole, rolling your car, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with a tree and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like falling objects, damage from getting keyed, theft and fire damage. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
UM/UIM Coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Mercury Grand Marquis.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
Medical costs insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for nursing services, hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
