Your Auto Insurance and the “Hit and Run”

Your Auto Insurance and the “Hit and Run”

If your car was hit by someone and they do the legal/right thing by admitting it and paying for it, all is well. The “at fault” driver’s insurance will cover it under their property damage portion of their insurance for your car to be fixed. In the case that someone hits your beautiful new car while you are in the store and drives away, what do you do?

At Fault – If You Caused an Auto Accident

The responsibility of who pays what in Nevada is contingent on who’s at-fault in an auto accident.

Windshield / glass coverage pays the amount of a covered glass loss, and as an added perk, it has a low deductible.

Term Life Insurance vs. Whole Life Insurance

Term life insurance policies will often have terms of one year to 30 years. Typically, the monthly premium (monthly payment) stays the same throughout the term of the policy. Whole life insurance provides coverage your whole life and it includes something called “cash value”. Think of it like a mini savings account attached to the policy.

Rental Reimbursement vs. K4 or K5 Coverage

Rental reimbursement would reimburse you for either your daily rental charges or your policy limit, whichever is less. It can be used after any covered collision or comprehensive loss (assuming you carry collision and comprehensive coverage). K4 and K5 coverage can also help with post-accident “loss-of-use” costs.

Is Raising the Speed Limit Worth the Risk?

While vehicles are safer than ever and roadways are engineered to prevent accidents, the fact is that traffic fatalities claim thousands of lives per year.
