In every state of the United States, it is required that you have auto insurance if you plan on driving your vehicle. Some states have required limits that a person must carry, however it is up to you whether you want to keep the minimum or increase it to meet your needs more effectively. One of the types of car insurance coverage formats is liability insurance.

Liability insurance covers you against lawsuits and other instances where someone could come after you for the damage that you caused � either to their person or their property. This means that if you hit someone, run into the back of their car or accidentally drive into something at a restaurant, you are covered by your insurance company.

The coverage that is provided with the liability insurance is up to the state you live in as well as whether you want to increase it. Should you do so much damage that you exceed the liability amount in your policy, you would be liable for any additional charges. While most people don't do a lot, if you anticipate that you could cause some major accidents (or if you have a teenager), it is something that you may want to consider.

Another aspect to liability insurance is the deductible. If you want to pay as little out of pocket as possible, then you are going to need to pay a higher monthly payment. If you don't think that you will be involved in any accidents and want to keep your monthly payment low, then you would have a high deductible in the event that you are involved in an accident.

When you purchase liability insurance for your car, it will be bundled with personal injury protection as well as any other kinds of insurance that you decide to add. These could include uninsured motorist, rental car protection and many others.

Get at least three quotes from insurance companies so that you do not pay too much when it comes to your monthly payment. Some companies offer discounts for being customers of them for other insurance while others are willing to overlook age or past driving history.

Liability insurance is the most necessary coverage for your car because it will protect you from being out of pocket for a lot of expenses if you get into a fender bender when you are out on the road.

A car with liability insurance only is borrowed and in an accident Car is totaled Whose insurance will cover?

When a car is borrowed (with permission) the insurance of the car owner is primary and the insurance of the driver is secondary. Here, the car owner has no coverage to pay for the damage to his/her own car, so the driver's liability insurance would cover the cost of the car. That is assuming the driver has liability insurance, if the driver doesn't have liability insurance, the car owner is stuck (unless he sues the driver).
