Auto Insurance
AUTO INSURANCE IS MORE THAN JUST A POLICY
Some people believe that auto insurance is just a commodity. It isn’t.
You’re driving your car. You lose concentration and go through an intersection, not seeing that the light has turned red. It could happen to anybody. Unfortunately, as you go through the intersection, you hit another car that is proceeding across your path because the light for this vehicle is green.
You broadside the other car. Later, you find out that the driver (or passenger) who has been seriously hurt, is a neurosurgeon who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Now, because of the accident, they will be unable to earn that living.
They’ve suffered an economic loss and will probably endure pain and suffering because of their injuries, the recovery period and the inability to work, so they sue you.
How much can they get from you?
Everything you have!
With auto insurance, you are not only protecting yourself in case of an accident, but also your financial well-being in the future and the choices you make could affect you for the rest of your life. In fact, almost every week you can read about tragic accidents in the news, accidents that cause millions of dollars in damage and liability. Protect yourself by purchasing adequate auto insurance.
There are 6 components to auto insurance resulting in many different levels of coverage for you:
Bodily Injury Liability
Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs if you are responsible for injuring another person in an accident. This protection is critical when injuries result in long-term or high-value claims.
Property Damage Liability
Pays for damage you cause to someone else’s vehicle, home, fence, or other property. Without this coverage, you would be personally responsible for repairing or replacing what was damaged.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist
Protects you if you are hit by a driver who has little or no insurance. This coverage helps pay for your medical bills and damages when the at-fault driver cannot.
Medical Payments / Personal Injury Protection
Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who was at fault. This helps with hospital visits, treatment, and recovery costs.
Collision
Pays to repair or replace your vehicle if it is damaged in an accident with another vehicle or object. It applies whether you are at fault or not.
Comprehensive
Covers damage to your vehicle from non-collision events such as theft, fire, vandalism, hail, flooding, or falling objects.
“you get what you pay for”
- Don’t Risk Your Financial Future
- The True Cost of Cheap Insurance
Remember that sometimes “you get what you pay for”. The cheapest option might not provide you or your family with the best protection. The saying goes “you don’t need insurance until you have a claim.” You don’t want to discover inadequate coverage when something goes wrong and you need to file a claim.
The minimum amount of insurance required by most states is not much. If you buy just the minimum coverage required by law, you are leaving your assets at considerable risk. Your car, obviously, but if you are at fault in an accident that causes serious injuries, it could also be your home, your property, or even your pension.
