Collision insurance
This covers damage to your Continental from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things like rolling your car, crashing into a building and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices and chiropractic care. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from getting keyed, vandalism, damage from flooding and a broken windshield. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Lincoln Continental.
Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Liability insurance
Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers things such as medical services, pain and suffering, structural damage, legal defense fees and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
