We'll get the quotes for you! Connecticut law requires that drivers carry Bodily Injury Liability coverage in an amount no less than $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident. The minimum amount required for Property Damage Liability coverage is $10,000 per accident. Those are the minimum amounts allowed by law, but drivers are urged to carry higher amounts of coverage. Even though the law requires each driver to carry auto insurance, there are lots of drivers on the road today who have absolutely NO insurance coverage. For that reason, it is highly recommended that you also carry Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage in Bridgeport. That would protect you if you were involved in an auto accident with a hit-and-run driver or a person with no insurance (or one with very little coverage.) In addition to Liability insurance, there are various types of coverage you may choose to add to your policy. (1) Collision coverage - This covers your own auto if you collide with another vehicle or object, or if your car rolls or flips. (2) Towing and labor - Every time your covered auto or any non-owned auto is disabled, or your keys are lost or locked in your car, this coverage pays for towing and/or labor costs. (3) Comprehensive coverage - This covers damage to your car by theft, flood, windstorm, impact with animals, etc. There is usually a deductible to pay with each claim. (4) Full Glass Coverage - For an extra cost, this will cover your car’s glass for breakage of safety glass with no deductible. (a) Where you live - The road conditions, population, number of vehicles, repair rates, and number of accidents in your area are factors. (b) Your driving record - This has the biggest impact on your premium. At-fault accidents and moving-violation convictions within the last 3-year period greatly affect your cost. (c) Vehicle use - The more you use your vehicle, the higher your premium will be. For occasional use only, you'll pay much less than if you drive several miles to work. (d) Type of vehicle - The cost of repairing or replacing your vehicle, its style, and the likelihood of theft, all affect your premium. Sports cars raise your rates much more than a family car would.
In 2010, there were 1,620 auto thefts in the Bridgeport-Stamford-Norwalk metropolitan area, according to the NICB (National Insurance Crime Bureau.) To help prevent your car from becoming a theft statistic, follow these steps ... (a) Lock your vehicle (b) Close all windows (c) Take your keys (d) Never leave car running unattended Any activity that takes your eyes off the road while driving is considered a distraction. If it takes your hands off the wheel or interrupts your concentration, it increases your risk of a crash. In 2008, more than half a million people were injured and nearly 6,000 died as the result of crashes involving a distracted driver. Using a cell phone while driving reduces the brain activity associated with driving by 37%. It is 4 times more likely that a driver using a hand-held device while driving will be in a crash that injures them. The Distracted Driving Law in Connecticut makes it illegal for a driver to use a hand-held mobile phone to engage in a call or to use a mobile electronic device while the vehicle is in motion. No one under 18 can use one, even if it has a hands-free accessory. PHONE IN ONE HAND - TICKET IN THE OTHER (1) Remain calm (2) Call police (3) Exchange driver(s)' info... name, address, license number, tag number, insurance info (4) Note the time, date, location, damage, injuries, road conditions (5) Get witnesses' info (6) Take pictures (7) Draw a diagram (8) Notify your insurance company If you get a speeding ticket, you will lose PLENTY!! First, you'll lose plenty of TIME ... time while the officer writes your ticket, and the time required to pay the ticket or appear in court. You'll lose even more time if the judge orders you to take a safe driver course. But, hands-down, the biggest cost you'll face is the rise in your future insurance premiums. The cost of your future insurance premium for a speeding ticket is MUCH higher than the fine connected with the speeding ticket. Sometimes, speeding tickets can actually cause an insurance company to drop your coverage entirely or refuse to renew your auto coverage. Become an informed consumer.
