Understanding Car Insurance in Florida & Kentucky
Personal injury attorneys deal with insurance companies on a regular basis. Understanding how car insurance companies work is a matter of interest to both the victims of car accidents as well as the negligent driver who caused it.
When you buy your automobile insurance policy, you are paying your insurance company (also called your "insurer") to assume a limited monetary risk over any accident in which you are involved. The company can afford this type of economic roulette because it has millions of premium paying policyholders, only a small fraction of whom will be involved in accidents. Even then, the portion of accidents involving significant injury represents a small percentage of those accidents. Personal injury attorneys always look to the policy limits first when evaluating a claim.
You, understandably, obtain automobile accident insurance because the risk of going uninsured is too great. The hardship of an accident without insurance protection would be economically devastating which is why many states including Florida and Kentucky legally require at least minimum coverage.
Most insurance companies try to hedge the odds in their favor by screening their customers, accepting only good drivers, or charging young or high-risk drivers higher premiums. They then try to maximize their profits by wisely investing your premium dollars and carefully scrutinizing policy claims before paying out any money following a personal injury attorney or law firm submitting a demand for monetary damages.
