3 Common Car Insurance Myths

3/28/2021

Myth #1 Liability insurance coverage that meets minimum legal requirements offers adequate protection.
 
Fact: Minimum liability limits may not be enough to cover all expenses if you injure someone or damage their property with your vehicle

Myth #2 Comprehensive coverage is all-encompassing.
 
Fact: comprehensive does not cover all damage to your vehicle.
 
Comprehensive coverage usually extends only to certain dangers—such as theft, fire, or a natural disaster. It can be thought of as coverage that protects your car if it is damaged in an accident that is not a collision. You would need separate collision coverage if you wanted to be covered in an accident where you hit another vehicle.
 
 
Myth #3 If my car is totaled, insurance will pay for me to buy a new car.
 
Fact: In a covered total loss, your insurance payout usually considers depreciation. The payout would also depend on whether the car you drive is 10 years old or a newer model. An insurance payout totaling a 10-year-old car would not be equal to the cost of a brand new one. However, if your car is only a few years old, new car replacement coverage might cover the cost of a brand-new car.
 
If any of these myths surprised you, give our office a call and we can help make sure your covered to the extent you need.

Picture
When purchasing insurance for your motorcycle there are different requirements and options depending on the state. To learn more about what Texas requires give our office a call. In the meantime here’s an overview of coverage options for at-fault accident claims.

Bodily Injury Liability
If either your passenger or the other driver is injured in an accident that was your fault, you might be liable for the costs of medical treatment, lost wages and physical or psychological pain. This coverage helps protect you from having to cover these costs out of pocket.
Property Damage Liability
When you’re in an accident it usually results in damages. If you damage someone else's property, property damage liability coverage will help pay for the ensuing expenses.
Collison
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident, this type of coverage will help with repairs or a replacement.
Personal Injury Protection
This coverage can help supplement lost income as well as any services you can’t perform on your own anymore such as child care or even a funeral, in a worst-case scenario.
Optional Coverage for Custom Parts
If you have added any customized parts to your bike you could choose to cover them in case of damage.

Having the proper coverage can help put your mind at ease in the case of an accident. Call or email us at info@huttoins.com to learn your options and get a quote.
