Auto Insurance – Not An Option But A Legal Necessity

Auto insurance is insurance for all kind of vehicles e.g. car, trucks.
If you own a vehicle, you need to get it insured as auto insurance is a legal necessity.
Auto insurance protects you against financial loss if you have an accident.

Auto insurance policy basically includes the following six coverages:

1. Bodily Injury Liability

This coverage applies to injuries that you, the designated driver or policyholder, cause to someone else. You and your family members listed in the policy are also covered when driving someone else’s car with their permission. In the latter case, the coverage is given to you only if the injury is caused by you. It also covers legal costs that you may incur.

2. Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

This coverage pays for the treatment of injuries to the driver and passengers of the policyholder's car. It is also sometimes known as “no-fault” coverage.

3. Property Damage Liability

This coverage pays for damage you may cause to someone else's property. E.g. another vehicle and neighbor’s mailbox or fence.

4. Collision

This coverage pays for damage to your vehicle resulting from a collision with another vehicle or object. It includes a deductible amount which may vary from state to state. If you are at fault your collision coverage will reimburse you for the costs of repairing your car, minus the deductible. If you're not at fault,
auto insurance company may try to recover the amount they paid you from the other driver’s insurance company. If successful, you'll also be reimbursed for the deductible.

5. Comprehensive

This coverage reimburses you for loss due to theft or damage caused by something other than a collision with another car or object, such as fire, falling objects, explosion, earthquake, flood or contact with animals.

6. Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage will reimburse you, a member of your family, or a designated driver if one of you is hit by an uninsured driver.
The
auto insurance policy is a contract between you and the insurance company.

  2. I agree, its a legal necessity to put your vehicle on the road. In order to save money on that, you can shop around for the lowest Insurance Rates, so that it doesn't burden your pocket, and meets the legal requirements as well.

  3. I enjoyed your post. It’s a lot like college – we should absorb everything we can but ultimately you need to take what you’ve learned and apply it.
