Basic liability coverage to protect others against the damage caused by any driver is always a requirement in Westchester, NY, and other areas. However, auto insurance companies can provide additional services and coverage to protect against various losses drivers may experience. In many cases, it is recommended to research these other types of coverage, as they can be instrumental, and it is financially beneficial to pay into a policy rather than have to pay a large sum for a vehicle repair or other forms of damage all at once. ASZ International Inc. can help with any of these coverage types.
Comprehensive coverage
There is the possibility of damage to a vehicle in situations that do not involve an accident with another vehicle. This tends to be because of theft, vandalism, damage from wild animals, severe weather, or fire. Comprehensive coverage is helpful for most drivers because a car is always exposed to the elements, and there is a risk of damage even when the vehicle is not being driven.
Underinsured or uninsured motorist coverage
A driver who does not have any auto insurance coverage may cause an accident. It can be challenging to get any compensation for losses in these situations unless the victim has already planned for this possibility with uninsured motorist coverage. In other situations, an accident may cause more damage than the driver’s insurance policy will pay for. An underinsured motorist policy can help pay additional medical costs or lost wages beyond the settlement amount.
