No one plans for an accident, 
be prepared!

Reading auto insurance policies can be as tough as trying 
to decipher advanced calculus. 

However, it’s really not that hard once you understand a 
few basic terms. Collision, Comprehensive, Bodily Injury 
Liability and Property Injury Liability are 
the main terms 
you need to fully understand.

Protect Yourself
With Auto Insurance

by Lin Stone

You’ll appreciate Collision Coverage in the event you need repairs or replacements if your vehicle collides with another vehicle or property. The higher the deductible you elect, the lower your premiums will cost you. If you’re at fault for something, well of course it would still be an accident, as I doubt you’d plan to run into that guard rail, but how much would you be able to afford to pay out of pocket for repairs? $250? $500? $1,000? 

Just like it is with medical insurance, you’d have to pay that deductible amount first and then the insurance company would pay for the remaining charges for the repair.

Direct Access to YOUR insurance companies, and hundreds of helpful articles  so you can save money and protect your family.

How badly do you need health insurance? According to new research from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, many Americans at or near retirement age would require more than $1 million to pre-fund medical costs over just their remaining life.  Check your Best Options NOW!

But, what if you have an accident and discover you don't have the money 
needed to meet the high deductible before work begins on your vehicle?

My friend Carol asked her insurance company if she could opt to NOT 
have her fog lights put back on her SUV and take that amount off the high 
deductible.  The insurance company didn't even quibble.  It was glad to.  

Later, when she is rich again, 
Carol can have the fog lights put back on.

Another term to become intimately familiar with is Comprehensive Coverage. This is the coverage that pays for damage caused from falling objects, fire, certain natural disasters, theft and vandalism. Deductibles work the same way as with Collision; the more out of pocket costs to you, the less your insurance premium.

In addition to knowing how much Collision and Comprehensive coverage you have, you’ll want to know about your liability coverage. Let’s say you rear-end another driver. Or your foot slips off the brake onto the gas pedal and you plow down a mailbox. Your liability coverage will kick in and pay for the damages that you caused with your insured vehicle. You liability coverage will, or could, include bodily injury (people) and property damage.

You don’t want to go without Bodily Injury Coverage. 

If you were at fault in an accident and others involved needed to go to the hospital and/or lost wages from missing work, those costs would come out of your pocket if you are not insured with Bodily Injury Coverage. 

It doesn’t take a genius to calculate how quickly those amounts can add up. This type of coverage can also help you in the event the other party takes legal action against you. Many states require you to carry Bodily Injury Coverage.

Some Smart Ways To Give Money Away Creatively.  

Make your Garden Glow  Learn the best strategies of making your yard and garden a source of great satisfaction.

The size of the average American yard continues to shrink -- it now stands at only 9,100 square feet -- including the house. At the same time, more and more people are valuing fresh, organically grown produce and wanting to grow their own. With new technology, special varieties and innovative planting systems, you can now grow almost any vegetable, herb or fruit on a deck or in a small corner of your yard or deck -- even producing more than if you planted them in a regular-sized garden.  Turn Your Small Yard into a Big Garden.  

The other part of liability includes Property Damage coverage. Can you imagine how much harm it would do to your checking account if you accidentally drive into the side of someone’s home? 

You wouldn’t want to be caught without property damage insurance should you need to pay for repairs to another vehicle, building or anything else you might hit. 

As with Bodily Injury coverage, Property Damage coverage also helps protect you in the event of a related lawsuit.

Every policy will have its limits and various degrees of coverage for each of these terms. It’s important that you understand the basics of what you are paying for and why it is necessary to have it in your contract.
