Many times people ignore buying insurance coverage when buying a car considering car insurance coverage as an aspect that would add to the financial burden. However, taking out car insurance is vital, as it significantly reduces the financial burden resulting from an accident or property damage.
Most people have a vague idea about their insurance requirements. By law, auto insurance must cover certain minimum requirements to be considered valid. The primary coverages in auto insurance are liability coverage, personal injury protection, medical expenses, death benefits, property damage liability, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, comprehensive coverage, and collision coverage. Each state has different requirements regarding these coverages. Understanding these coverages can significantly reduce insurance costs.
Liability insurance is mandatory under most state jurisdictions. Liability insurance provides coverage against injuries caused to the person driving the car. It also provides coverage for injuries and property damaged in the accident. The minimum amount required for liability coverage varies from state to state. However, liability coverage is not a requirement in states such as New Hampshire, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
Certain states require insurance policies that provide personal injury protection and also cover any medical expenses incurred during treatment. There are also certain policies that provide financial coverage against any lost wages, if the insured person is injured in an accident. It is always wise to choose a policy that includes death cover so that in the event of the unforeseen death of the insured in an accident, the policy provides financial security to the family.
Collision coverage covers all damage to the vehicle incurred as a result of a collision. Comprehensive coverage covers things like theft, fire and damage from falling objects, missiles, explosions, earthquakes, floods and riots.
