Insurance coverage considerations

Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses for things like prosthetic devices, pain medications and funeral costs. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see 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 a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims like funeral expenses, attorney fees and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle, scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as falling objects, a broken windshield and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Ford Ranger.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
