The auto insurance lingo isn\u2019t always easy to understand or clear to the everyday person \u2013 and unfortunately not all insurance agents are willing to take the time to fully explain each and every option to clients. Fortunately, many agents are happy to take the time to go through the many protections offered to you in the event of a crash, injury, or other instance where auto insurance is needed. We urge those who contact us about auto insurance to shop around for an agency and\/or agent they feel comfortable. It is important that you trust your insurance company to provide expertise even when specific questions are not asked \u2013 because many times we simply don\u2019t know to ask them until it\u2019s too late. Agents who suggest coverage options personalized to a plan\u2019s members are fantastic resources.<\/p>\n<p>Because Jones &amp; Swanson primarily represents victims of automobile accidents, we deal with auto insurance companies on a daily basis. This affords us an inside knowledge of how insurance companies, adjusters, agents and policies work. Here are a few coverage options afforded to Georgians under automobile insurance policies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Liability Protection: Pays for the cost of injury that others suffer as a result of an automobile accident with you. Without this protection, you\u2019d have to pay these expenses out of pocket.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awjlaw.com\/marietta\/car-accident-lawyer\/medical-payments-coverage\/\">Medical Payments<\/a>: Covers financial protection from medical bills you incur as a result of an auto accident, even as a pedestrian.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awjlaw.com\/marietta\/car-accident-lawyer\/uninsured-motorist\/\">Uninsured Motorist<\/a>: Protects you from uninsured motorists. This coverage protects your personal assets if you are injured by a driver who doesn\u2019t have insurance and can\u2019t pay your medical bills.<\/li>\n<li>Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Similar to uninsured motorist coverage, underinsured motorist coverage protects against insignificant coverage. This is triggered when the at fault driver has insurance, but not enough to cover your medical expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Damage to Vehicle: Pays to repair your damaged vehicle \u2013 subject to a deductible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each of these auto insurance policy components should be considered to fully protect yourself and others on Georgia roadways. It is always our suggestion to purchase the maximum amount of coverage that you possibly can \u2013 you never know when you\u2019ll need to protect yourself financially.
