The good news is that today’s vehicles are built with technologies that reduce the likelihood of injuries. They feature energy absorption designs. The panels of the vehicles take the damage, effectively ‘absorbing’ the energy of a collision before it reaches the occupants. This design is effective in protecting drivers and passengers. Because the panels are designed to crumple and collapse during a collision, the cost of repairs and replacements is much higher than older designs.
The State of Illinois requires all motorists to carry liability insurance that covers the cost of injuries and/or damages to property and people resulting from an auto accident. Your Stanton Insurance agent can explain the various coverage available to you: coverage that not only protects you against liability exposure but also covers your vehicle repairs…even if you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist. There are additional coverages that provide savings and convenience, such as towing coverage and rental car reimbursement that pays for a rental car while yours is being repaired.
When you’re found liable for a vehicle that’s been totaled in an auto accident, it’s not unusual for the costs to be more than the limits of your policy. Today’s rising medical costs and exorbitant court settlements can quickly exceed standard policy liability limits. When that happens, you’re financially responsible for whatever exceeds those limits. A liability umbrella is an affordable and effective way to protect yourself against that financial responsibility. It ‘kicks in’ and covers your exposure above your policy limits. Liability umbrellas extend liability protection for your auto policy, as well as your homeowners, motorcycle, and watercraft policy. Talk to your Stanton Insurance agent about an affordable liability umbrella.
