Life is to short… yes it’s true. We don’t have any idea when
will the Creator take the life He given us. We don’t know when
the unfortunate events, such as accidents, would strike.
Accidents, particularly road accidents, happen in different
states almost everyday. Here are the different types of auto
insurance coverage that is right for you and your family.
You must carry auto insurance to protect yourself and your car.
For those same reasons, the government also requires you to have
car insurance.
In the state of Florida, there are minimum requirements that
they require you to carry - the property damage and personal
injury protection. Property damage covers another person’s
vehicle if you are at fault in an accident. Personal injury
protection covers 80% of medical expenses and 60% of loss wages
as well as up to a five thousand dollar death benefit for you
and your relatives that reside with you, minus the deductible if
it applies. This coverage would protect you in case there is any
damage to other vehicles and gives you medical coverage for
yourself.
You can select from the different type of auto insurance
coverage. Well it depends on what you want to be covered and
what you can afford. Besides the minimum requirement coverage
previously mentioned, there is another type of coverage that is
very important, bodily injury.
The state of Florida doesn’t require you to have bodily injury
coverage until you get into an accident. This would cover you if
you were at fault in an accident and the person in the other
vehicle suffered injuries exceeding their personal injury
coverage. The other party has the right to see and the state may
place a financial responsibility on you motor vehicle report
that would last for 3 years, if you did not have this coverage.
That financial responsibility is called SR22.
Another coverage is the uninsured motorist. It covers you if the
other party was at fault and you were injured exceeding personal
injury coverage and they didn’t have bodily injury coverage. You
may see this kind of coverage to cover the difference of your
injuries.
The two more important types of coverage that you might want to
consider are the comprehensive coverage and the collision
coverage.
Comprehensive coverage would cover your vehicle in the event of
fire, theft, vandalism, hail storm damage or any natural causes
minus the deductible you agreed upon purchasing your insurance.
On the other hand, the physical damage to your vehicle, if you
were at fault in the accident, minus the deductible, would be
covered by the collision coverage. The insurance company would
pay the actual cash value of your vehicle. Comprehensive and
collision coverage are possibly required by your lending
institution if your vehicle is financed.
Extra medical payment coverage can also be provided if you are
interested. There are many types of coverage to choose from.
With the help of the web, you have a vast amount of knowledge at
your fingertips to help you choose the best coverage for you and
your lifestyle.
All types of coverage are important, but it still depends on
what you can afford. But then, having an insurance must be one
of your main priorities, knowing that your life and your family
are much more important than anything else.
