How do I know if I have the right coverage?
Knowing if you have the right insurance coverage starts with understanding what is available. In Texas, there are four types of auto insurance coverage that are required by law: Liability Coverage, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage, Personal Injury Protection, and Medical Payments Coverage. Liability Coverage provides protection for an individual’s financial expenses if they are at fault in an automobile accident. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage provides protection for an individual’s medical expenses, lost wages, damages to their vehicle, and other personal losses if they are involved in an accident with someone who does not have sufficient insurance coverage. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) pays for medical and hospital bills. It also reimburses the insured for income loss and other expenses. Medical Payments Coverage pays for medical care provided to the insured or passengers in their vehicle. To make sure that you have the right coverage, you should speak with an insurance agent. They will be able to help you determine which coverage is best for your needs. They will also be able to provide you with an estimate of your coverage costs. Additionally, it’s important to regularly review your coverage to make sure that you are adequately protected. It’s also important to review your policy periodically to look for discounts that may be available and to make sure that your coverage is up-to-date with current market value.
