Knowing the specifics of your insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverages available from insurance companies.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Ford Aerostar.
Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills like ambulance fees, hospital visits, dental work, doctor visits and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverage protection
Collision insurance pays for damage to your Aerostar resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers things like sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Auto liability
This coverage can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability can pay for things like medical services, structural damage, funeral expenses and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hail damage, damage from flooding, vandalism, hitting a bird and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
