Motor Vehicle Accidents - Insurance

Many states have laws requiring drivers to posses a minimum amount of liability coverage. The amount of insurance a driver is required to carry varies from state to state. The purpose of the insurance is to pay for damages to others if you are found at fault for a motor vehicle accident. If pay for greater coverage, the additional funds may protect you from loss if you are found liable in a motor vehicle accident. Remember, liability insurance only pays to settle claims or judgments against you if you are found negligent.

To shield yourself against claims from other drivers or passengers in case of a motor vehicle accident, you can purchase "uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits" coverage. This allows you to receive compensation from your own insurance company if a negligent driver has limited liability insurance. If the amount of your damages exceeds the negligent party's coverage, you can make a claim under this coverage from your own company.

To cover medical bills, you will need to purchase an additional "medical payments" coverage. Medical payments coverage may go by various names, but the purpose of the coverage is to pay for the medical needs of a driver or passengers. It only covers those who are in the insured motor vehicle.

"Collision coverage" covers repairs or replacement to your vehicle after an accident, regardless of who is at fault. There is usually a deductible on the amount paid. This allows you to have repairs on your vehicle if you are at fault, if your motor vehicle is damaged by someone who has no insurance, or the person at fault flees the scene.

So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
