What Is Auto Insurance?
Auto insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company. You pay a premium, and in return, the insurance company helps cover losses when you have an accident or experience vehicle damage.
Auto insurance may cover:
- Injuries to you and others
- Damage to your vehicle
- Damage to someone else’s property
- Legal expenses if you are sued
- Medical payments after an accident
- Theft, vandalism, or weather damage
In most states, including California and Los Angeles, auto insurance is required by law to legally drive.
Why Auto Insurance Is Important
Accidents can happen even to safe drivers. Repair costs, medical bills, and lawsuits can become extremely expensive.
Auto insurance helps:
- Protect your finances
- Keep you legally compliant
- Cover injuries and damages
- Repair or replace vehicles
- Provide peace of mind on the road
Without insurance, you may be personally responsible for thousands of dollars or more.
How Does Auto Insurance Work?
Here is how auto insurance works in simple steps:
- You choose your coverage types and limits.
- You pay your premium monthly or annually.
- If an accident or loss happens, you file a claim.
- The insurance company reviews the claim.
- Covered expenses are paid up to your policy limits.
Your policy includes limits and deductibles:
- Limit → maximum amount insurer will pay
- Deductible → portion you pay before insurance pays
Example:
If you have a $500 deductible and $3,000 in damage, you pay $500, and the insurance company pays $2,500.
