subject: How Much Car Insurance Do You Really Need [print this page] In these tough economic times, your inclination will be to get the bare minimum of auto insurance required by the law of your state.
Buyer Beware! Keep in mind, these bare minimums may not fully protect you.
When deciding how much automobile insurance coverage you need, make sure you are covered for an amount equal to the value of your assets. Even though most states have minimum (or no) requirements for bodily injury liability, it is probably in your best interest to purchase higher limits. If someone else is injured and you're at fault, the minimum liability coverage may not cover their medical expenses, in which case their attorney will most likely come after your assets. It is generally recommended that you purchase 100/300 limits of bodily injury liability.
Most states require that you have minimum levels of liability insurance. In Florida the minimum requirements for automobile insurance are $10,000 of bodily injury liability for one person in an accident, $20,000 bodily injury liability for all people injured in an accident, and $10,000 property damage liability for one accident.
The law governing insurance policy in Florida also makes it necessary for an insurance provider to provide you with a special package called PIP or Personal Injury Protection. PIP ensures that your insurance provider has to pay for the medical expenses or any other lost wages which you may have to bear in the event of meeting an accident.
Besides liability insurance, you must also consider collision and comprehensive auto coverage. This insurance covers damage to the policyholder's car resulting from an accident or loss in the case of theft, fire, falling objects, explosions, or other unexpected incidents.
