Coverage specifics

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as legal defense fees, loss of income, pain and suffering and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Collision insurance

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your MKX resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for things such as rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding, a broken windshield and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Medical expense insurance

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses such as EMT expenses, ambulance fees and pain medications. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
