What is the most basic required auto insurance coverage?
Commonly referred to as ‘legal liability coverage.” Third–party liability coverage protects you as a driver if you’re in a car accident where you end up sued for causing physical injury to someone or damaging someone else’s property. There is a minimum coverage limit for third-party liability coverage but there often options to purchase higher liability limits.
Mandated Accident Benefits coverage is there to provide benefits to you if you get injured in a car accident. Even if you are deemed ‘at-fault’ for the accident, these accident benefits are there for you. Basic accident benefits have base-line limits that cover medical-related costs that go above and beyond what is covered by our healthcare system. Included in basic accident benefits coverage are expenses related to healthcare, rehabilitation, and attendant care. If you cannot care for yourself, some benefits ensure you have resources to be taken care of.
On the most basic level of coverage, property damage coverage provides you with direct compensation should your vehicle is in an accident where you are not at-fault for the accident. This coverage also includes payment if contents in your car are damaged.
What happens if you or your family sustained injuries in an accident caused by an uninsured driver or a driver that flees the accident? Uninsured automobile coverage covers expenses relating to injury and vehicle damage.
