Your Insurance Policy Always Working For You
Every year, more drivers travel our roads and freeways. This can lead to an increased likelihood of a collision for you and your family. If you get in a car accident, the auto insurance you have can make a large difference in what happens next. But why do you need to own insurance and exactly how much should you purchase? Required coverage varies based on the state/province but typically includes the following: Liability: Liability pays for the expenses you are responsible for in a car accident, including injury and property damage. It also covers your legal fees if you are sued. Recommended, more comprehensive levels of liability insurance are available that take care of more events than the stripped-down, state-mandated insurance. Personal Injury Protection: This is mandated in some states and is optional in others. Sometimes referred to as no-fault coverage, this pays the medical treatment for you or your passengers regardless of who was at fault. The minimum amount of personal injury protection is usually set by local government. Medical Payments: Medical payment coverage can be purchased in states that are not considered no-fault; it will pay despite who carries responsibility for a collision. This insurance will pay for all insured person's reasonable and necessary medical or funeral expenses for bodily injury from a crash. Collision: Damages that occur from a collision will be covered under this kind of car insurance. Comprehensive: Applies if your vehicle is stolen or damaged by causes other than a wreck, including weather damage or vandalism. Uninsured Motorist: Thousands of drivers are ignoring the law by driving without owning the right amount of car insurance. This insurance will cover you if one of these drivers hit you. Under-Insured Motorist: Many drivers have liability insurance that might not be able to pay for all the expenses they are responsible for. Under-insured motorist coverage protects you from those drivers. Emergency road service, car rental, and other types of coverage can also be purchased. Insurance Clermont
