Introduction
Car insurance is a necessity for most drivers, but it’s not always the easiest thing to understand. There are several types of coverage available and different kinds of policies that can help you protect yourself from potential accidents or other damages. In this article we’ll discuss what car insurance is and how it protects you, so let’s get started!
The first thing to know is that car insurance protects you from the financial cost of accidents and other damages.
Car insurance protects you from the financial cost of accidents and other damages. It’s a must-have for most states, but it’s not mandated by the government.
What does car insurance cover?
Car insurance can be broken down into two main categories: bodily injury (BI) and property damage (PD). BI covers medical expenses, lost wages, and funeral expenses in case of death; PD covers car repairs or replacement costs if your vehicle is stolen or damaged by an act of nature such as fire or flood damage.

Car insurance is a must-have for most states, but it’s not mandated by the government. Some states require you to have car insurance while others do not. In fact, some states even specify a minimum amount of coverage or don’t set any requirements at all.
While it’s true that you can get away with having no coverage at all if your driving record is clean (and why would someone do this?), most drivers will need some kind of coverage in order to avoid high rates and fines when they get into an accident or are involved in another incident where their vehicle was damaged.
When you choose a policy, be sure to look at depreciated value.
Depreciated value is the amount your car loses in value over time. It’s important to make sure that you understand this difference between market value and depreciated value, as it can affect how much money you get from your insurance company after a crash.
Marketing Value is how much your vehicle would sell for on the open market if you were selling it today. Depreciation happens when cars are driven more miles than they were meant to drive (or have been driven at high speeds) or when they have had damage that makes them less drivable (like hail damage).
Market Value is determined by experts who do an appraisal of each vehicle before determining its true worth based on current market trends and consumer demand for used vehicles like yours!
Personal auto policies cover more than just cars and trucks.
Personal auto policies cover more than just cars and trucks. They also cover motorcycles, ATVs and RVs. In addition to that, you can be sure that your personal auto policy will provide coverage for property damage as well as medical bills associated with an accident. Even if you don’t need emergency medical care but do need some time off work because of the pain you’ve suffered at the hands of another driver who was uninsured or underinsured (meaning they didn’t have enough money to pay out-of-pocket expenses), then this type of coverage can help ease your financial burden when dealing with injuries sustained in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence.
Personal auto policies are designed so that they protect drivers’ rights after an accident occurs–and this includes lost wages if someone must take time off from work due to injuries sustained during such an event!
You should always have at least liability coverage when driving.
You should always have at least liability coverage when driving. Liability insurance protects you from damages you cause to others, regardless of fault. It can be used as a secondary means of protection if your primary car insurance does not cover theft or vandalism.
For example, if your car is stolen and the thief hits another vehicle while fleeing the scene, liability coverage will help pay for any medical bills associated with injuries sustained by anyone else in that vehicle during their escape attempt (including yourself). This is especially important because most states require drivers to carry full-coverage car insurance policies–even if their vehicles are only insured up to $50K per person annually–so it’s important not only for personal safety reasons but also legal ones: If someone gets hurt because they weren’t wearing seat belts or driving on roads with traffic laws enforced poorly enough so as not allow them enough time between cars/trucks before impact occurs then those responsible could end up facing serious fines and penalties according
