In various places in the world, car insurance is optional, but look at the problems that causes. In Canada, car insurance is mandatory, I mean even if it wasn’t, why wouldn’t you want it? Look at all that it covers!
- Liability:
- Say you’re driving your car and happen to cross someone’s property, and you accidentally hit them with your automobile. Or what if you hit their garage because you weren’t paying attention? What would you do? How could you possibly pay off something like that? Well that’s where your insurance comes in handy. If someone is injured or killed because of your automobile, or their property is damaged because of you, don’t worry you’re covered and protected. Liability coverage protects you financially if you are legally liable for injuring someone or causing damage to their property while operating your vehicle.
- Protection Against Injury or Death:
- Let’s say you’re driving your vehicle and you happen to get in an accident. Well, accident benefits coverage can help replace lost income, or even pay for your medical attention, rehabilitation, and other expenses that aren’t covered by government health insurance. Not only that, but if you’re travelling with your family and happen to get in an accident, and let’s say you are killed, accident benefits coverage will also provide benefits to your partner or spouse and any dependant children.
- Direct Compensation for Property Damage:
- With direct compensation for property damage, you have coverage that protects you if damage to your car or contents inside the car are damaged and another vehicle is responsible.
- Protection Against Uninsured or Unidentified Drivers:
- What were to happen if an unidentified or uninsured vehicle were to damage your vehicle or injure you family or you? Well, uninsured vehicle coverage provides benefits to both you and your family if an uninsured or unidentified vehicle injures or kills you. It even helps cover damages to your vehicle if it is damaged by an unidentified vehicle.
