Traffic Accidents
Getting into a car accident is a stressful situation. There is the potential for injuries, property damage and even emotional damage. You can lose work and have to go to the hospital. Normally, there is insurance on both sides to pick up the bills. But what happens when you get into an accident with an unlicensed driver? Let’s take a look at some of the repercussions. Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Go check your insurance policy right now and make sure that you have uninsured motorist coverage. Without it, you may not be able to get any amount of coverage if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured driver. If the other driver is not insured at all, you can only reap the benefits of the amount of Uninsured Motorist Coverage that you carry in your policy. Make sure that it will cover your car, and a decent amount of medical bills relating to an accident. Talking with your insurance agent will give you a good idea of how much coverage you should carry. They can take a look at the numbers and make a good recommendation for you. It may sound like a waste of time, but if you ever need it, you will be really glad that you have it.
Stay In Contact
Stay in contact with your insurance company. You will want to be on top of all of the deadlines, plus you will, want to make sure that your payment is coming in time to settle up your bills. Failing to have money to cover your bills can make your debts pile up really fast. If you stay in contact with your insurance company, you will be able to make a plan and have some dates set in stone. Having a stable timeline will enable you to make a plan with all the bills and avoid paying penalty fees. If you just sit back and let the insurance company call you when they are ready, you might find yourself in the mud.
