Insurance Overview

In almost all states, the law requires automobile insurance for every road-worthy vehicle. Automobile insurance is provided to people so that if they are involved in a car accident, the insurance company will provide coverage for financial consequences to the other party's losses.

There are many different types of auto insurance available. When you are seeking auto insurance, it is a good idea to look at many different insurance companies, comparing coverage and rates, to find the type of car insurance that is best for you.

There are two main types of automobile insurance. First party to insure you and your property, and third party auto insurance to cover other people and their property. If you are involved in a car accident and you are held liable, your car insurance policy will pay for the losses of the other party if you have third party insurance. If you only have first party insurance, then you may be required to pay for damages to the other party directly.

If you are involved in a car accident that was not your fault, you and/or your insurance company can seek compensation from the other party and/or their insurance company. If this occurs, your insurance company may be involved in the investigation to prove the car accident was not your fault.

Automobile insurance companies can be difficult to deal with, and their associated insurance policies can be very confusing.
