Estimating Your Insurance Needs

How prepared are you for an accident? The kind of accident that may cause major injuries to yourself and your family? The kind of accident that would cause you to loose your car and have to buy a new one? If you do not know the answer to that you need to take a look at your car insurance and see exactly what it will cover. These are not the things that any of us like to look at but it is far better to do it before the crisis hits and correct any discrepancies than it is to wait. Once the accident happens you may well become a victim in more ways than one.

By examining your insurance needs early you may not avoid the disaster of a personal injury or of causing a personal injury to someone else. What you will do is avoid it turning into a financial disaster for you. Look at what it would cost you for a minor accident in which one person is injured and is sent to the hospital to remain over night. Check with your hospital or your doctor to get a ball park figure for what those expenses may come to.

The next step will be to look at a major accident and calculate the ramifications from it. In this one, still only one person is injured. But this time there are serious injuries. The person has broken bones and unknown internal injuries. They recover but in doing so they are required to spend a week in intensive care and then another week in the hospital before being transferred to a rehabilitation unit for up to three months. Once again, just use ball park figures but come up with a realistic total. Would your present car insurance cover those expenses? The minimum amount of insurance that you would want to carry would be enough to provide care and treatment for one person under those conditions. And this coverage should extend to both your liability and your personal coverage.

No one wants to think about having an accident like these. But, you can save yourself a lot of mental trauma if you examine your needs in advance.
