When you are involved in an auto accident and found to be responsible, it is extremely 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 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 Vermont 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

Vermont also mandates that all drivers carry Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage. This covers your own bodily injuries if you are the victim of a hit-and-run or are hit by a driver who is at fault but has no insurance or not enough insurance to cover the damages. The minimum coverage amounts are:

• $50,000 total, per person
• $100,000 total, per accident
• $10,000 total, 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. 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 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 Collision Coverage or Comprehensive Coverage, for example.

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'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 cost of your premium. Be sure to check your score before applying for new insurance to make sure it is accurate and up-to-date.
• If you have a teenage driver in the family, ask about teen driver discounts.
• Completion of defensive driving/driver's safety courses from an accredited company can also save you money on premiums.
• Shop around and compare prices from different companies.

Being aware of these money-saving tips can add up to big savings for you! When you also work with a professional insurance agent to put together your policy, you can be confident that you are getting comprehensive coverage at the best possible price.
