Handyman Insurance – Additional VT Car Insurance Coverage
Like many states, motorists must carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) in addition to liability policies. This is intended to cover insureds for bodily injury or property damage sustained if involved in an accident with a driver who does not carry a policy or whose liability limits are insufficient to compensate for the losses caused. Motorists must have limits of $50,000 for bodily injury or death per person, $100,000 for bodily injury or death per accident, and $10,000 for property damage per accident. Claims for the property damage portion of this coverage are subject to a $150 deductible if the policyholder does not have a comprehensive collision.
Comprehensive and collision is an optional form of coverage designed to compensate the vehicle owner if the insured automobile suffers a loss. These coverages protect against a wide range of perils, including collisions, glass breakage, theft, contact with animals, fire, vandalism, missiles, explosions, and many more. Although not required by the state, consumers who are financing automobiles are often required by lenders to carry this coverage as part of a loan agreement.
