Liability Insurance | How Do Your Prepare Yourself For Accident

Chris Antrim • May 05, 2021

Liability 101 - Insurance = Taking Care Of The Other Person


Liability insurance is what states require you to carry when driving a car. Your auto insurance policy has two types of liability coverage on it:


Well, if you want to know more about liability insurance, you can check out Amy Gatherum - Allstate Insurance website. She has the knowledge and expertise when it comes to this matter. She would go beyond just to stretch your options about this type of insurance.



A). Bodily Injury (BI) 


Idaho’s minimum liability limits for Bodily Injury are $25,000/$50,000.  This means that if "you" caused an accident and the "other  person" was injured, your insurance would pay up to $25,000 for their injuries.


If there was more than one "other person" hurt, your insurance would pay up to $25,000 for their injuries too, but it will stop paying out on injuries for all those "other person" once the total bill hits $50,000.


B) Property Damage (PD) 


Idaho’s minimum liability limit for Property Damage is $15,000.  "You" hit the "other person's" car, house, garage, mailbox, etc. your insurance will pay up to $15,000 to repair or make a settlement to replace the damaged/destroyed property.     


When you are reading your policy and verifying coverage (because hey, it is good to know what you have) the liability limits might show like this:

25/50/15.


Listen, hospital bills can add up quickly and car repairs can too. Because of this, carrying state minimums should make you shudder.


Please shudder. Why?

You could be on the hook for any repairs (body/auto, etc.) that go over the limits your policy pays.   


Be happy if you see these types of liability limits on your policy:

100/300/100 or,


even better, 250/500/250.


Preparing for something like this has a greater impact not just on your name but also on the other person you involved in your car accident. If you accidentally hit someone or something, please be responsible for the damage you caused to them.

Thank you for reading! Hope you learn something.

Choosing a Medicare Advantage plan has its drawbacks. You’re limited to specific provider networks , making it hard to see specialists without paying extra. If you need specialized care , you’ll face referral challenges and possible delays. Out-of-pocket expenses can be higher, especially for chronic conditions or out-of-network services. Each year, your plan’s benefits could change, impacting your coverage and costs significantly. Complex plan structures may confuse, and if you have other insurance, compatibility issues arise. Switching plans isn’t straightforward, especially if you’re considering moving back to Traditional Medicare . Understanding these disadvantages helps you make an informed choice about your healthcare coverage.
