Hey there, future policyholder! Congratulations on getting the keys to your new adventure. But wait – have you thought about insurance yet? If you’re wondering what insurance is and why it’s crucial, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to LV Insurance Agency, your trusted partner in securing your assets and future.
What is Insurance?
Insurance is a safety net for your financial well-being. It’s there to protect your assets, your income, and ultimately, your peace of mind. At LV Insurance Agency, we believe that understanding insurance shouldn’t be complicated. Let’s dive into the basics and the must-know coverages.
Why Do You Need Insurance?
The primary reason to have insurance is to protect yourself. Whether it’s your car, home, or personal health, insurance ensures that you’re covered if something unexpected happens. The idea is to have your insurance company ready to step in financially, so you don’t have to bear the burden alone.
Key Insurance Coverages Explained
1. Coverage for Others
- Bodily Injury Liability: This covers medical expenses for injuries you cause to others in an accident. For example, if you’re at fault in a car accident and the other party requires medical attention, your bodily injury liability will cover their expenses. Coverage is typically expressed in two numbers, such as 100/300, meaning $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident.
- Property Damage Liability: This covers damage you cause to someone else’s property. If you accidentally hit another car or someone’s fence, this part of your policy will cover the repair costs. A common limit is $25,000.
2. Coverage for You
- Medical Payments (MedPay): This provides medical coverage for you and your passengers, regardless of who is at fault in an accident. A typical limit might be $10,000 per person.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage: This protects you if you’re involved in an accident with someone who doesn’t have enough insurance. It covers the gap between their policy limits and your medical expenses.
3. Coverage for Your Vehicle
- Comprehensive Coverage: This protects your car from non-collision-related incidents such as theft, vandalism, or hitting an animal. Think of it as coverage for the “acts of God.”
- Collision Coverage: This covers damage to your car from collisions with another vehicle or object, regardless of fault.
Choosing the Right Deductibles
Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance kicks in. Common choices are $500 or $1,000. Selecting a higher deductible can lower your premium, but make sure it’s an amount you can afford in case of a claim.
