When you are involved in an auto accident and found to be responsible, it is vitally important to have the proper insurance coverage. Most people know and understand that driving without insurance is not an option. Not only is it dangerous, it is also illegal. But many people don't realize that being underinsured can also be personally devastating.

If you don't have the proper amount of coverage and are held responsible in an accident, your home, savings, future wages, and all other personal assets can be at risk in order to cover the costs of accident-related medical bills, property damage, and lawsuits.

The State of Connecticut requires that all motorists purchase and maintain the following minimum amounts of coverage:

• $20,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per person
• $40,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per accident
• $10,000 total for property damage, per accident
• $20,000 total for Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, per person
• $40,000 total for Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, per accident

When putting together your auto insurance policy, it's important to remember that whatever amount you select is the maximum amount that your insurance provider will pay out on a claim. The minimum amounts as required by law are often times not enough to fully cover damages which occur in an accident for which you are responsible. Therefore, you may want to consider choosing higher amounts of insurance coverage when you purchase your policy.

Your auto insurance agent is a knowledgeable and trusted source for information regarding the state's minimum requirements and also any other questions you may have about different types of coverage and amounts.
