Insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This provides protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Ford F-250 Super Duty.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for expenses for hospital visits, prosthetic devices, pain medications, rehabilitation expenses and EMT expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Collision protection

This coverage pays for damage to your F-250 Super Duty resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things like driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability coverage

This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined limit that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims like loss of income, court costs and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as fire damage, hail damage, vandalism and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
