Auto insurance provides financial protection in case you are involved in an auto accident. If an auto accident occurs, an auto insurance policy provides financial coverage to pay any resulting vehicle damages, property damages, and/or medical costs. The amount of money the policy provides versus the amount of money you pay out of pocket will depend on the type of coverage purchased, the financial limits of each coverage, and your deductible.

Auto insurance not only protects your vehicle but it also helps restore assets that might be stolen, damaged, or lost. Additionally, auto insurance can be helpful in case there is an accident-related lawsuit.

• The information may be accurate for one purpose or set of circumstances, but it doesn’t tell you how the information applies to other situations; at the very least, it should contain some kind of disclaimer.
• No credible party may have taken responsibility for keeping the information accurate and current
• The person or organization that posted the information may possibly have a criminal intent
• Often internet publishers forget that the medium is global and they may be using information that is for a specific group or geographic location.
