Different people need different insurance coverages

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Every situation is different.

For instance, these questions might point out whether you may require specific advice.

  • Do I need medical payments coverage since I have good health insurance?
  • What are the best liability limits?
  • Should I buy full coverage?
  • Do I need rental car coverage?
  • Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
  • Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in my state?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It is quick, free and can help protect your family.

Car insurance coverages 101

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for claims such as emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive car insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield, hitting a deer, vandalism and theft. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like hospital visits, doctor visits and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your MKC caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims like colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree, rolling your car and hitting a mailbox. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Lincoln MKC.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
