What makes it necessary to have automobile insurance? The necessity has been a big debate for years now. The biggest reason is because it is the law. Another good reason is it protects your financial well being. These are the most important reasons.
Lawmakers in every state believe it is important to maintain auto insurance and they have very valid reasons behind it. They have expensive fines and actions they take if you choose to ignore it. Still many people still ignore the laws set forth in regards to auto insurance.
Many of these people that chose to disreagrd the laws can often pay a huge preice for doing so. Many consumers purchase uninsured motorist coverage just to protect themselves from these kind of drivers. Because I am sure like everyone else you have hear the horror stories.
If you are uninsured and you have an accident it does not excuse you from paying the damages you cause. If you are at fault you will have to pay all damages, if you do not you could lose your driving privelages in many states. Besides having your car towed and impounded there are prety hefty fines for ignoring the law too.
There are 6 different kinds of coverage that you can purchase. First, is the most common limit set forth by the state. Bodily Injury liability. This coverage will pay for any one that you or a designated driver of your vehicle may harm in an accident. The state minimum however is often not enough coverage. Medical bills can be very expensive.
If you would also like coverage for you and your passengers you would want to purchase PIP or Personal Injury Protection. Property Damage liability is another that the state may require and it covers damages done to property if you are at fault. This could include, structures, trees, lamp post and telephone poles.
If you have a collision and you are at fault and want your auto to be covered you need Collision Coverage. Collision Coverage protects your vehicle. If you are looking for something that would protect your auto if a fallen tree should crash down on it or vandals attack you need Comprehensive Coverage.
Too many people only purchase the minimum amount of coverage that the state requires and often that is not adequate coverage. So you may want to purchase under insured motorist coverage for your protection. Then the insurance company will pay what ever the other persons insurance does not if damages exceed their coverage. - 15224
