When you are involved in an auto accident and found to be responsible, it is vitally important to have the proper insurance coverage. If you don't have the proper amount of coverage and are found at fault 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.

If you are deemed responsible for an auto accident which results in injury to another person or persons, bodily injury liability coverage provides funds for accident-related medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The State of New Mexico requires the following minimum coverage amounts to be purchased and maintained by all motorists:

• $25,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per person
• $50,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per accident
• $10,000 total for property damage, per accident

New Mexico also mandates that all drivers carry Uninsured Motorist coverage. If you choose not to include this coverage in your policy, you must formally reject it in writing.

Your insurance policy is basically a contract between you and your insurance company. You agree to pay the premium and the insurance company agrees to pay for losses and/or damages in the event of an accident. It's important to remember when drawing up your personal policy that most states only require minimum coverage amounts. Most insurance experts agree that you should base your deductibles and types of coverage on your personal needs and circumstances.

You can depend on your professional insurance agent to be a knowledgeable and trusted source for information regarding your state's minimum requirements and also for any other questions you may have about the different types of coverage available and their 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.
• If you have a teenage driver in the family, ask about a good student discount.
• 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.
• Reduce coverage on an older vehicle, especially if it's paid for.
• Improve your credit score. Most insurance companies use this score to determine the rates you will pay for insurance. If possible, obtain copies of your personal credit report (from the three major reporting bureaus) and check them for accuracy before applying for insurance. Report any out-of-date information or errors directly to the reporting bureau.

Knowing the discounts that are available can add up to big savings when putting together an auto insurance policy. When you also work with a skilled agent, you can be confident that you are getting coverage which protects both you and your assets at a price you can afford.
