Car insurance coverage information

Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the normal coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Ford Mustang.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Normally these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills for ambulance fees, EMT expenses, funeral costs and dental work. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Coverage for liability

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers things such as court costs, pain and suffering, emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Mustang from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch, crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
