Not all auto policies are alike. Many companies are offering different coverage forms and different coverage options. We will tailor coverage to your needs at a competitive premium without offering cut rate insurance. It’s important to us that you understand what is available and choose coverages you can afford based on your specific needs. Below is a brief outline of some of the coverages that are available.
Basics of Auto Policy Coverages:
- Liability: Protects you from claims by others, resulting from an auto accident in which you are involved, including:
- Bodily Injury you cause to others
- Property Damage you cause to other people’s property
- Legal Defense for you in lawsuits brought by others
- Medical Payments: Pays you and/or passengers in your vehicle for medical expenses resulting from injuries to you in an accident regardless of who is at fault. Limitation: expenses must occur within three years after accident.
