An automobile is a necessary tool for today's
busy and complex living. As such, provisions are
made to protect the functioning, value and liability
associates with operating a vehicle.
Auto insurance protects you against financial
loss if you have an accident. It is a contract
between you and the insurance company. You agree
to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees
to pay your losses as defined in your policy.
Auto insurance provides property, liability and
medical coverage:
" Property coverage pays for damage to or
theft of your car.
" Liability coverage pays for your legal
responsibility to others for bodily injury or
property damage.
" Medical coverage pays for the cost of treating
injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages
and funeral expenses.
An auto insurance policy is comprised of six
different kinds of coverage. Most states require
you to buy some, but not all, of the coverage.
Your insurance should notify you by mail when
it's time to renew the policy and to pay your
premium
Your auto policy may include six coverages. Each
coverage is priced separately :
1. Bodily Injury Liability - This coverage applies
to injuries that you , the designated driver or
policyholder, cause o someone else. You ad your
family members listed on the policy are also covered
when driving someone else's care with their permission.
It's very important to have enough liability insurance,
because if you are involved in a serious accident,
you may be sued for a large sum of money.
2. Medical Payments or Personal Injury Protection
(PIP) - This coverage pays for the treatment of
injuries to the driver and passengers of the policyholder's
care. At its broadest, PIP can cover medical payments,
lost wages and the cost of replacing services
normally performed by someone injured in an auto
accident. It may also cover funeral costs.
3. Property Damage Liability - This coverage pays
for damage you (or someone driving the car with
your permission) may cause to someone else's property.
Usually, this means damage to someone else's car,
but it also includes damage to lamp posts, telephone
poles, fences, buildings or other structures your
car hit.
4. Collision - This coverage pays for damage to
your car resulting from a collision with another
car, object or a result of flipping over. It also
covers damage caused by potholes. Collision coverage
is generally sold with a deducible of $250 to
$1,000 - the higher your deductible, lower your
premium.
5. Comprehensive - This coverage reimburses you
for loss due to theft or damage caused by something
other than a collision with another care or object,
such as fire, falling objects, missiles, explosion,
earthquake, windstorm, hall, flood, vandalism,
riot, or contact with animals such as birds or
deer.
6. Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
- This coverage will reimburse you, a member of
your family, or a designated diver if one of you
is hit by an uninsured or hit-and-run driver.
Underinsured motorist coverage comes into play
whe.n an at-fault driver has insufficient insurance
to pay for your total loss. This coverage will
protect you if you are hit as a pedestrian.
