Auto insurance
Important things to keep in mind when buying or reviewing your auto insurance:
- Purchasing the cheapest coverage may haunt you forever.
- Purchasing auto insurance is similar to purchasing any other product. Compare coverages from different insurance companies and get a number of quotes.
- Do not confuse full coverage with full tort. Full coverage does not mean you have full tort.
- If you buy “limited tort” instead of “full tort,” you place yourself at a disadvantage if you are injured in a car accident. Even if you believe you are seriously injured, the final decision may be left to a judge or a jury to decide any damages, if any. With full tort, if you are not at fault, you automatically recover for pain and suffering.
- What your insurance company is trying to sell you may not be what you need. Some insurance agents may not explain all your options.
- Are you insured against uninsured motorists? If not, you may be unable to pursue any recovery.
- Are you protected in the event that the at-fault driver does not have enough coverage? Purchasing under-insured coverage will protect you. Pennsylvania is one of the few states that offer excess coverage in opposed to gap coverage.
- Collision versus comprehensive. If you choose just collision, you are unprotected against loss from theft or fire.
