Liability Insurance - Why do I need it?
In addition to the requirement to have liability insurance, acquiring liability insurance gives you a much peaceful mindset every time you drive. This is because you can never be too confident to not cause any car accidents with damages. Liability insurance will protect you from paying for the damages caused or for the injuries of people involved in an accident that you may have caused unintentionally. In liability insurance, you may opt for the minimum liability coverage but doing so will only pay up a fraction of the expenses considering that the damages and injuries or lives lost may exceed the minimum. It is wiser to go for a higher coverage that you could afford so you won't end up paying for what a good liability insurance coverage could have freed you from.
You can set your deductibles too if you wish to have a lower premium for your car insurance coverage. Set it $1000 or even higher if you think that you have a low chance of filing a claim.
