Are you paying more for car insurance than you have to? Instead of shopping around for the most affordable rates on the coverage they need, many Clear Lake drivers settle for higher premiums or otherwise cut their coverage to make it more affordable. At Lillie-Couch Insurance, we believe that high-quality coverage should be affordable and accessible for all drivers. As an independent agency, we take the guess work out of shopping for car insurance.
Wisconsin Car Insurance Requirements
Like every other state, the Badger State means business when it comes to responsible driving. All drivers are required to carry proof of financial responsibility, which includes a minimum amount of liability and uninsured motorist protection. These include:
- $25,000 per person Bodily Injury Liability
- $50,000 per accident Bodily Injury Liability
- $10,000 per accident Property Damage Liability
- $25,000 per person Uninsured Motorist Protection
- $50,000 per accident Uninsured Motorist Protection
Most people opt for higher liability limits than are required by state law. Though all of our insurance policies meet state standards, we recommend increased coverage that provides protection against lawsuits when you are at-fault for an accident. The more liability insurance you have, the less likely you are to pay money out of your own pocket if you are sued. We will be happy to assist you in evaluating your individual insurance needs and determining how much coverage is right for you.
Medical Payments
Unless rejected in writing, all Wisconsin auto insurance policies automatically include a minimum of $1,000 medical payments coverage. This important coverage can help pay for medical or funeral expenses for you or your passengers after an accident, regardless of who is at-fault.
Additional Car Insurance Coverage
There are several additional forms of car insurance coverage that can save you thousands of dollars in an accident or in another covered event. We recommend including them with your policy to minimize your out of pocket expenses when faced with a sudden emergency. These include coverage for:
Collision Claims
Collision insurance takes care of the damages to your own vehicle when you collide with another vehicle or object. You are only responsible for paying the deductible selected for your policy, and insurance takes care of the rest. Be sure to talk with your insurance agent if you need coverage for any specialty after-market parts or equipment that may not be protected by your standard coverage.
Comprehensive Claims
Not all vehicle damage comes from car wrecks. If someone maliciously vandalizes your car in a parking lot, comprehensive insurance can take care of the body work. This type of coverage typically pays for non-accident claims, including those caused by inclement weather, fires, theft, vandalism, and more.
Emergency Roadside Assistance
From time to time, everyone needs roadside assistance. Perhaps you need your vehicle towed after an accident, or maybe just a locksmith to let you into your locked car. From fuel delivery to assistance changing a flat tire, this type of coverage will get you back on the road in no time.
Rental Car Reimbursement
Insurance may cover your vehicle if it is damaged, stolen, or totaled, but repairs can take days or even weeks. Even if you are choosing a new vehicle, you will want time to test drive your options and compare prices. Rental car reimbursement can help you cover the costs of temporary transportation until your car is repaired or you find another vehicle.
