Before You Start

  • Think about how you would pay for routine expenses if you or another income-earning adult in your home were to suffer a disability and stop working?
  • Ask your employer whether disability income insurance is offered as an optional workplace benefit.
  • If you're an employer, consider offering it as a benefit to attract and retain desired workers.
  • If you already own disability income insurance, take a fresh look at the policy to learn about the level of coverage it provides, eligibility requirements, etc.

Basics About Auto Insurance

Posted by art's2007 | 11/15/2008

Auto insurance financially secures the automobile of a person from the case of an accident. It is not mandatory for everyone to purchase auto insurance but for the sake of the safety of their automobiles, everyone purchases an automobile insurance policy along with their vehicle. But there are several states in the U.S which have mandatory rules of insurance and no car can run on the road without having insurance papers with them. These states have made it compulsory for all the car owners to insure their cars in order to keep their vehicles financially safe from any accident and hence there is no loss of money for the owner of the car if there is any damage occurred to the vehicle. Moreover, the owner of the car has to show the government that he has enough money to buy car insurance along with the car and then only he is allowed to buy a new vehicle.

There are several conditions during which a person can claim an auto insurance repayment to the insurance company. These are bodily injury liability, medical repayments, property damage coverage, personal injury protection, comprehensive, collision, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. There is a special type of auto insurance that is called liability insurance. In liability insurance, if a person is at fault in causing an accident then the insurance company would pay the entire amount which that person needs to pay to those persons whom he has caused damage both to their vehicle and the people. Moreover, the insurance company also pays all the legal bills that are to be paid to the lawyer during the legal transactions. So it is suggested that everybody should go for a liability insurance as you never know that when you might cause damage to anyone.

Collision coverage insurance is just like liability insurance but the difference is if a person causes an accident then the collision coverage insurance would repay the entire amount that is required to repair the person’s vehicle. But the disadvantage of this type of insurance is that the person cannot collect an amount exceeding the actual cash value of the car at that time. People always keep on finding cheap auto insurance and hence they must find high deductibles. High deductibles help people to lower their monthly installment that they have to pay their insurance premium. So with lowered insurance premiums, they will be able to get the cheapest insurance available in the market.
