Car insurance protects you from paying for another driver’s injuries and repairs by yourself after you cause a collision. Some types of insurance also pay for damage to your own vehicle. To use your car insurance, you must file a claim. Once you make a claim, your company will evaluate the damage and pay a settlement up to your policy’s limits.
Most states and many lenders require you to carry auto insurance coverage. In order to keep your car insurance policy active, you’ll have to pay your monthly premiums on time. If your policy lapses, you’ll be unable to drive legally and pay more for coverage in the future.
