Yearly in the US, there are nearly 6 million vehicle accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Now, consider a world in which auto insurance didn’t exist. Every time you go out for a drive, you would be risking your bank account as well as your assets.

Accidents are more than simply inconveniences. In 2013, the average damage to property resulting from car accidents was $9,300. This figure doesn’t include injuries either. When you factor those in, the cost jumps to a crippling $80,700.

Auto insurance policies keep your finances protected from those expenses. Along with assisting with the costs arising from an accident, your insurance carrier can also protect you from liability lawsuits if you have liability coverage. Policies that include this coverage and have high limits along with collision and comprehensive coverage, as well as medical coverage, can end up saving you thousands of dollars in the event that you are in an accident.
