Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Texans have many choices when it comes to coverage options and the necessity of the level of protection is dependent on each individual’s needs. First and foremost, motorists in the Lone Star State should be certain to be in compliance with the state’s Financial Responsibility law at all times. Financial responsibility is defined as an individual’s ability to pay for any bodily injury or property damage that they cause as a result of a traffic accident; the majority of individuals choose to comply by purchasing a car insurance policy. Motorists who choose to buy a policy must carry proof which will need to be shown if asked by a law enforcement officer, are involved in an accident, at the time of registering or renewing vehicle’s registration, when obtaining or renewing a driver’s license or when getting a vehicle inspected. Current Texas auto insurance law requires motorists to purchase liability limits in the amount of $25,000 for bodily injury to one person, $50,000 for bodily injuries to two or more people and $25,000 for property damage per accident; consumers will commonly see this abbreviated as 25/50/25. Higher limits may be purchased for an additional premium and may be worthwhile in order to avoid future financial hardships. Although twenty-five thousand dollars may sound like a lot of money on paper, with the high costs of medical care, this amount can be easily exhausted if the injured party happens to suffer serious injuries; if costs of medical care exceeds this amount, the other party may be able to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for the difference not covered by the policy’s limit.
