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 Florida mandates the following minimum coverage amounts for all of its motorists:

• $10,000 total in Personal Injury Protection (PIP). This insurance coverage protects you when you are involved in an accident, no matter who is at fault. It pays a portion of the costs such as accident-related medical expenses and lost wages. It also pays a $5,000 death benefit.
• $10,000 total in Property Damage Liability. This coverage pays for damages caused by you or another insured family member while driving your vehicle. "Property" may include other autos, fences, building or utility poles.

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.

You can rely on a professional insurance agent to give you sound, practical advice with regards to choosing auto insurance coverage amounts. In addition, an agent can answer any other questions or concerns you may have regarding your auto insurance needs and costs.

Tips to saving money on your insurance premiums

• Maintain a clean driving record. This can add up to big savings when buying auto insurance.
• Raise your deductible. Remember, the higher your deductible, the lower the cost.
• Reduce coverage on an older vehicle, especially if it's paid for.
• Bundle your insurance policies. Purchasing life, home, auto and other insurance policies from one company can earn you up to 10% off the total cost of your premiums.
• If you have a teenage driver in the family, ask about teen driver discounts.
• Improve your credit score. Many insurance companies use your credit score to determine the amount of your premium. Check your credit score before applying for insurance to make sure it is accurate and up-to-date.

By taking advantage of these money-saving tips and working with a professional insurance agent, you can be confident that you are getting the lowest possible rate on your auto insurance policy!
