Liability Auto Insurance

Liability Auto Insurance

Liability auto insurance is the only insurance that's required in most states. Here's how to get cheap liability auto insurance online with a top-rated company.

Liability auto insurance provides you with two types of coverage. They are ...

1. Bodily injury liability coverage - This pays medical expenses for the people you injure in an auto accident.

2. Property damage liability coverage - This pays to repair or replace the other person's car and personal property you damage after an auto accident.

Liability coverage is expressed by three numbers. For example, 25/50/100 would mean that you're covered up to a maximum amount of $25,000 for one person's medical bills, $50,000 for everyone's medical bills, and $100,000 for the other person's car and property.

In addition to liability coverage some states require you to have personal injury protection coverage and/or uninsured motorist coverage. Personal injury protection coverage reimburses you for your medical bills and your passenger's medical bills when you're involved an auto accident. Uninsured motorist coverage reimburses you for damages done to your car by an uninsured, underinsured, or hit-and-run driver.
