If you are involved in an auto accident and found to be responsible, the last thing you want to be is underinsured. The time to plan for this situation is when you are selecting the types of coverage to be included in your personal auto insurance policy. The importance of having the proper amount of coverage cannot be over-emphasized.

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.

Being underinsured can be almost as devastating as having no insurance. When speaking with your agent, be sure to take into consideration all aspects of your situation- family, income, and personal assets- when putting together your auto insurance policy.

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 Texas 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
• $25,000 total for property damage, 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.

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.
• If you have a teenage driver in the family, ask about teen driver discounts.
• Bundle your insurance policies. Purchasing life, home, auto and other insurance policies from one company can sometimes earn you 10% or more off the total cost of your premiums.
• Raise your deductible. Remember, the higher your deductible, the lower the cost.
• 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. Before applying for insurance, obtain copies of your personal credit report from the three major credit bureaus and check them for accuracy. Report any errors or out-of-date information directly to the reporting bureau.

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 a comprehensive auto insurance policy!
