Auto Insurance

An auto insurance policy is a contract between you and an insurance company. You pay a premium. In exchange, the insurance company promises to pay for specific car-related financial losses that you may have during the term of the agreement.

Do you need it?

Auto insurance is a legal requirement in most states. State laws typically say that as a driver, you either must have insurance, or be able to provide evidence that you have the financial resources to pay a judgment against you, if you are responsible for causing damage or injury to another person/property. An insurance policy is the easiest way to document that you can pay damages if you must. You also need auto insurance to protect yourself financially. If you or anyone for whom you're responsible seriously injures another person, you can be held liable for the injured person's medical expenses, rehabilitative therapy, and long term nursing care, as well as for his or her lost earnings.

As an example, if you or anyone in your household should happen to injure a bright, young computer consultant to such an extent that a consultant is prevented from practicing as a consultant for the rest of his life, you could find yourself the object of a judgment that could force you into personal bankruptcy. However, even personal bankruptcy would not relieve you of the obligation of paying the judgment as a result of injuries to that young consultant. That judgment could follow you and you could have to pay - - for the rest of your life. That’s why adequate insurance is essential to your economic health.
