How can I be sure I have the right insurance coverage?
Everybody is different, so everybody needs different coverage. It's best to work with an expert like a Service Specialist to be sure you have the right coverage. And, make sure you let your Specialist know if your circumstances change, so they can work with you to adjust your coverage.
Will my premium go up if I am involved in one not-at-fault accident?
That's a tough one to answer, because it really varies with each case. We recommend contacting us about your specific case.
Why should I use a preferred supplier or repair facility?
You can always use your own supplier, but if you use a supplier from our list of preferred suppliers and repair facilities, we'll guarantee vehicle repairs for as long as you have your vehicle and insure it with us.

Third Party Liability Coverage protects you if someone else is seriously injured or dies, or if their property is damaged, caused during the use of your vehicle. It will pay for claims as a result of lawsuits against you up to the limit of your coverage, and will pay the costs associated with settling the claims.
Many claim settlements are in the millions of dollars. Should there be a court settlement against you higher than the liability limit on your policy, the court judgement would then be applied against you and your assets.
Please contact us if you would like to discuss increasing your Third Party Liability Coverage.
