Insurance Pointers Series: Auto Insurance Coverage Explained

On Behalf of | Nov 18, 2016 | News

If you’ve ever purchased an auto insurance policy, you understand that choosing from the various types of coverage options can be confusing and overwhelming. However, understanding your auto insurance policy is extremely important to ensure that you have the coverage you expect in the event that you are ever involved in a traffic accident.

Often, you may hear people claim that they have “full coverage” under their auto insurance policy. Although most drivers and policyholders may be under the impression that they have “full coverage,” this is essentially a meaningless term. When people use this term, they often think that they have multiple types of coverage. However, “full coverage” does not exist – no matter how many coverage options you may choose, every option has a coverage limit.

If you have questions about auto insurance coverage, stay tuned for Langer & Langer’s blog series, “Auto Insurance Coverage Explained.” In this blog series, we will explore the various types of auto insurance coverage options, and discuss whether or not you should consider adding each to your insurance policy. We will share a post for each topic over the course of the next few weeks.
