Insurance coverage breakdown

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.

Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism and theft. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Thunderbird resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with a tree and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Ford Thunderbird.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Liability auto insurance – This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims like bail bonds, structural damage, emergency aid, loss of income and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses for things like chiropractic care, surgery, dental work and ambulance fees. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
