It is almost impossible to predict whether you will ever lose a lawsuit from a car accident or not. Most residents in Birmingham, MI have auto insurance, which offers most of the coverage. However, did you know that minimum auto insurance doesn’t cover you and your car in an accident where you are at fault?

Well, the liability coverage you pay for only covers other parties that you harmed. So, what happens when you cause an accident where you are also injured, and your car gets damaged? Well, depending on your auto coverage, you may or may not receive any help.

At High Favor Insurance, we care about you and your financial securities. That is why we recommend buying umbrella insurance to add extra coverage to what you already have.

How can umbrella insurance protect me during an accident?

Umbrella is extra liability coverage that protects you against lawsuits, property damage, and bodily injury. For instance, if you accidentally caused property damage like damaging someone else’s car, your auto insurance policy may cover the loss. Still, if inadequate, umbrella insurance can come in and offset the rest.

In most cases, liability is never enough to cover for injury and damages caused to another party, and the policyholder ends up digging into their pockets to pay the rest. That is where personal umbrella insurance comes in. Remember, an umbrella policy can only come in when auto insurance is depleted.

What about lawsuits?

The main reason why you need umbrella insurance is to protect yourself from financial insecurities after an expensive lawsuit. For instance, if you caused an accident and someone got critically injured, they may file a lawsuit against you. Similarly, if the accident you caused was as a result of alcohol consumption, the other party may decide to file a case against you. In this case, you will need the help of an umbrella policy to pay legal fees.

Get Ready for Your Teenage Driver!

Unfortunately, teenagers are involved in more driving mishaps than their older counterparts. Much of this is due to inexperience, and their risk decreases as they drive for a more extended period. In the meantime, it’s important to have the right insurance to protect them and your family. There are several options available as you add new drivers to your auto insurance policy. Depending on the total number of drivers and vehicles that you need to protect, a fleet policy could be a good option. There are also situations where it is more cost-effective to have the new driver on their own policy rather than the family policy. Whichever option is the right fit for your needs, it’s important to research and understand your options before they start driving. We are here to support you during this time, and help you understand your options and why one policy may be a better fit for your family than another.

Your auto insurance policy does not change season to season and is in force for the entire agreed-upon policy period. That does not mean, however, that there aren’t particular needs to be wary of as the seasons change during the year. We experience the four seasons here in beautiful Michigan, with brutally cold winters.

Snowy Days – In The Elements?

Speak with one of our insurance agents to learn if you should invest in added coverage for the snowy winters. If you are out in the cold more often than normal due to your vocation or lifestyle your automobile is more susceptible to incur liability. This increase is due to the extraordinary use of your car as opposed to most commuters who use their vehicle to get to and from work.  

Spring, Summer, and Fall

Your chosen vocation and lifestyle play a significant role in whether your auto insurance can remain at standard. Using your car for work on rainy spring days or leaf strewn autumn evenings can add to a standard level of risk.
