When an Accident Can Put Your Assets at Risk

When shopping for auto insurance, many people focus on just one thing: How much is the monthly premium?

But there is a more important question:

If you are at fault in an accident, how much protection does your insurance actually provide?

That is where liability coverage comes in. If you are responsible for injuring someone or damaging their property in an accident, liability coverage can help pay, up to your policy limits, for expenses such as the injured person’s medical bills, damage to their vehicle or property, and in certain situations, legal expenses.

For example, if your Property Damage Liability limit is only $25,000 but you cause $50,000 in damages, having insurance does not necessarily mean the entire $50,000 will be paid by your insurance company. The amount that exceeds your policy limit could become your personal financial responsibility.

That is why choosing liability coverage is more than just selecting a few numbers on your insurance policy. Those numbers determine how much financial protection your insurance can provide when you need it most.
