Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like falling objects, fire damage, rock chips in glass and a tree branch falling on your vehicle.

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Lincoln Continental.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.
