“Collision coverage will help drivers recover their losses if their cars are damaged by other vehicles or objects in accidents they are at-fault”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
January 21, 2021

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains what types of events are covered by collision car insurance.

For more info and free quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/events-covered-by-collision-insurance/

Collision insurance is a type of coverage that will reimburse the policyholders for damage sustained to their vehicles, due to the fault of the policyholders. As the name suggests, this coverage will pay only when a collision happens.

The event covered by collision coverage are the following:

• 
  The policyholder hits another vehicle. In these situations, policyholders are obliged to stay at the place of the accident, or else it will be considered a hit-and-run incident. Drivers are recommended to take photos of the damaged vehicles and search for witnesses that can properly describe what really happened. As soon as possible, drivers should report their accidents to the insurers. The property damage liability component of the minimum required insurance will pay for the damages sustained by the vehicle that was hit by the policyholder’s vehicle, and the collision coverage will reimburse the costs to repair the at-fault policyholder’s vehicle. The premiums can increase by as much as 40% after an at-fault accident. After multiple at-fault accidents in a short period of time, the insurers will cancel the policies of at-fault drivers.
• The vehicle hits an inanimate object. Policyholders can file a claim after they hit a tree, a fence, a lamppost, or even a pothole. These types of accidents are considered at-fault accidents and the policyholder’s insurance premiums will increase. Objects that lay on the road or near the road are seen as avoidable obstacles. If the damages sustained by the vehicles are too small, drivers should not file a claim.
• The car rolls over. Rollovers are accidents where vehicles flip over onto their sides or roof. These types of incidents occur when a vehicle hits another vehicle, object or when a vehicle takes a curve at high speed. Although all passenger vehicles are susceptible to rollovers, SUV’s and pickup trucks rollover incidents are more likely to happen. Rollover accidents are expensive and it’s not uncommon for the involved vehicles to be totaled. In these cases, insurers will reimburse the policyholders that have collision coverage with the actual cash value of their vehicles at the moment prior to the accident. However, if the rollover accident happened because the policyholder was driving recklessly, insurers can deny paying any losses.

“Although drivers with a DUI conviction can face harsh penalties like hefty fines and jail time, they should resume their normal lives after a DUI conviction and try to overcome this situation”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
January 20, 2021

Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of the high number of fatalities that happen on the roads of the US. Drivers caught driving while they are drunk will have to face severe penalties. However, drivers can resume their normal lives after a DUI conviction and they will not have to face dire consequences, especially if it was their first conviction.

Drivers that were caught drunk driving can expect the following consequences:

• 
  Penalties. Depending on the state where the drunk driver was caught, the penalties he can face varies. The most common penalties are the suspension of the driver’s license, fines, vehicle impoundment, jail time, community service, or an order to participate in alcohol-abuse programs
• DMV surcharge. In some states, drivers that have accumulated enough points for traffic violations will be required to pay a surcharge in order to keep their driving license.
• Ignition interlock device. In several states, the judges can order for an ignition interlock device to be installed in the cars of multiple offenders. This device works like a breathalyzer and will not allow drunk drivers to start their vehicles.
• SRr-22. In many states, drivers that were caught drunk driving will be required to carry an SR-22 form that will prove the driver has car insurance. Not all insurance companies offer the SR-22 form.
• Drunk drivers can have their premiums increased or they can be dropped by their insurers. If an insurer drops a convicted drunk driver, then his chances to find other standard insurance providers are low. They should look for non-standard carriers that are specialized in dealing with high-risk drivers.

“Online quotes will help you save time and find better deals”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
January 19, 2021

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains what advantages are gained by using free online car insurance quotes.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/top-advantages-drivers-get-by-comparing-online-quotes/

Online users benefit from the following advantages when using brokerage websites or insurers’ official websites to obtain car insurance quotes:

• Get estimates anytime and anywhere. Drivers can research the insurance market to find a better car policy from the comfort of their homes. They no longer have to travel in bad weather from one physical insurance agency to another. Physical agencies have fixed schedules, while online quotes can be obtained at any hour of day or night.
• Get estimates really fast. The number of persons that are willing to spend time going from one insurance agency to another is getting smaller each year. Phone quotes are also a thing of the past. Online quotes take only a few minutes to complete and can save precious time that can be used for other purposes.
• Find better insurance rates. Typically, drivers find deals that are 5 – 10% lower than their current policy. In that way, a driver can expect to save hundreds of dollars each year. Regional or local insurers are known to offer better deals to get new customers. The only way, most drivers know about these smaller insurers is by comparing online quotes.
• Accurate data. Brokerage websites and insurance companies, provide accurate online quotes to their customers, so the online estimate of an insurance policy doesn’t differ that much from the real price of the same insurance policy. Of course, the user has to provide accurate data too, when he requests an online quote.
• Compare multiple companies. With the help of online quotes, drivers can compare numerous insurers that compete with each other. Online quotes will help drivers find deals from less-known insurers.
