Reader question:

What is the point of property car insurance liability coverage?

Ruth

Thank you for asking, Ruth.

The point of property car insurance liability coverage, at least for you on a personal level, is to keep you out of back breaking debt that will follow you for the rest of your life. That may sound dramatic, but it is simply an accurate statement of the circumstances that you would be under if you did not have this necessary type of insurance. Even if you did not care so much about that, there really is no choice for you when it comes to property car insurance liability coverage. If you don’t have it, you are breaking the low.

• So what is property damage liability, anyway? Here’s what it covers:

Anything you break, bend, bruise, or otherwise bungle is covered by property damage car insurance liability. This means that if you get into a car accident and it was caused by your own negligence or reckless driving, or at least if that is what the evidence points to, then your mandatory property damage liability car insurance coverage will cover whatever you did to the other driver’s vehicle or other type of property. What it will not cover is any damage done to yourself.

Property damage liability car insurance coverage also saves you from lawsuits, but only if you have proper coverage. If you do not have enough coverage or money to pay for the damages you have caused, then you can be sued. This is why it is suggested that when you get property damage liability car insurance coverage, you should always make sure to get at least a hundred thousand dollars worth of coverage, instead of the measly fifteen to twenty thousand dollars suggested by the state.

The factor that goes into your car insurance premium which directly affects what you have to pay for property damage liability is your driving record. The reason for this is because your driving record shows how likely you are to be at fault for a car collision more than any other factor other than your claims history. Keep a clean record on the road, and you will pay less for property damage liability car insurance coverage.
