Insurance policy coverages for a Mercury Tracer

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Comprehensive protection

This coverage covers 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 things such as hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from flooding. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Mercury Tracer.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Collision protection

This coverage pays for damage to your Tracer caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers claims like driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical expense coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses for X-ray expenses, nursing services, dental work and doctor visits. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for claims such as legal defense fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income, bail bonds and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
