There are more drivers on the road every year. This can lead to an increased likelihood of a collision for you and your family. The difference between a small bother and large obstacle can be your insurance. But why do you need insurance and just how much should you purchase? Your insurance may be able to pay for car crash expenses ranging from car repairs to legal fees. Your state or province certainly requires some type of auto insurance. By not owning insurance, you risk having to pay the total cost of the harm or injury you cause others or of repairing or replacing your vehicle if it is damaged or stolen. Liability: This type of insurance coverage can pay for the damage that you have caused. These damages may include personal injury, and property damage. If you are sued, it also pays your legal fees. Recommended, higher levels of liability insurance can be purchased that take care of more events than the lower, state-mandated insurance. Personal Injury Protection: Personal injury insurance is mandated in some states and is optional in others. It pays you or your passengers for medical treatment resulting from a crash, regardless of who may have been at fault, and is often called no-fault coverage. It can also pay for lost earnings, replacement of services and funeral costs. The minimum amount of this insurance is usually set by local government. Medical Payments: This type of coverage is available in states that are not considered no-fault and will pay regardless of who is responsible for an accident. It pays for all insured person's necessary medical or funeral expenses resulting from a crash. Collision: Damages that occur from a collision will be covered under this type of insurance. Comprehensive: Protect your vehicle from all non-collision damages when you buy this type of coverage. This can include protection from robbery, vandalism, and weather damage. Uninsured Motorist: Many drivers are breaking the law by driving without having the proper amount of insurance. This insurance will cover you if one of these drivers hit you. Under-Insured Motorist: Similar to uninsured coverage, this type of insurance covers you from people driving without sufficient insurance coverage. Emergency road service, car rental, and other varieties of car insurance can also be purchased. State Farm Agent Clermont
