Most people know and understand that driving without insurance is not an option. Not only is it dangerous, it is also illegal. However, many people don't realize that being underinsured can also be personally devastating. Without the proper coverage amounts, your home, savings, future income, all other personal assets and property can be at risk in order to cover the costs of accident-related medical bills, property damage and lawsuits.

Pennsylvania is a no-fault state. By law, all motorists must purchase and maintain Personal Injury Protection (PIP). This coverage provides funds to cover injury-related expenses that occur in an accident without regard to who is at fault.

The State of Pennsylvania also mandates the following minimum coverage amounts for all of its motorists:

• $15,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per person
• $30,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per accident
• $5,000 total for property damage, per accident
• $5,000 total for medical payments

It's important to remember that these amounts are strictly the minimum which is required to maintain legal coverage under Pennsylvania law. Many times, these minimum numbers are woefully inadequate to fully cover damages which occur in an accident for which you are found legally responsible. To avoid having to pay the cost difference out-of-pocket, you may want to consider choosing higher amounts of insurance coverage when you purchase your own policy.

Your auto insurance agent is a knowledgeable and trusted source for information regarding your state's minimum requirements. Your agent can also offer sound and practical advice when it comes to selecting other types of auto insurance coverage to protect yourself financially. These may include Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage, Collision Coverage, and Comprehensive Coverage.

• Raise your deductible. Remember, the higher your deductible, the lower the cost.
• If you have a teenage driver in the family, ask about teen driver discounts.
• Reduce coverage on an older vehicle, especially if it's paid for.
• Drive carefully. A clean driving record can add up to big savings when buying insurance.
• If you're purchasing a new vehicle, get an insurance quote before you buy. Insurance prices can vary dramatically depending on the make and model of the car you purchase.
• 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.
