The Motley Fool's top auto insurance resources
Why do you need auto insurance?
Auto insurance is the only thing standing between many drivers and financial ruin. The average motor vehicle accident costs $7,500 in property damage. If someone is injured, that amount jumps to more than $61,000. And if someone is killed in a motor vehicle accident, you're looking at more than $1.1 million. It takes a split second to change your life, and if you're not adequately insured, you could spend years paying damages. Auto insurance is a relatively inexpensive way to guard against financial ruin due to an accident.
