Specific coverages for a Lincoln MKX

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Collision coverage – This pays for damage to your MKX from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like crashing into a building, driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car, rolling your car and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a deer, theft, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants 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 your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Liability coverage – This protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things such as repair costs for stationary objects, court costs, attorney fees, pain and suffering and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills such as surgery, EMT expenses, X-ray expenses and hospital visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
