Purchasing a car is exciting, but it comes with a lot of responsibility and risk. Having an auto insurance policy is required in Louisiana and can protect you from paying hefty out-of-pocket costs following an accident.
What Is Auto Insurance?
Auto insurance is a contractual agreement between you and the insurer. In exchange for regular premium payments from you, the insurer agrees to help cover costs in the event of a covered claim, such as a theft or collision.
There are a few different types of auto coverages you can secure. Here’s a brief overview of some of the most common:
· Liability insurance helps insure you against claims arising from damage or injuries you cause to others if you are at fault in a wreck.
o Bodily injury liability coverage helps cover their medical bills (and in some cases, deaths).
o Property damage liability helps pay for damage to the other driver’s property, such as their vehicle.
· Collision insurance helps cover damage to your vehicle after a wreck.
· Comprehensive insurance helps pay for damage from non-accident mishaps, such as weather damage.
· Medical coverage helps pay for your medical bills and those of your passengers.
· Uninsured/underinsured insurance helps insure you against damage caused by someone else who doesn’t have adequate liability coverage.
