Car Accidents: When Is It My Fault?

By Hedrick Lepsch


In a car accident, tempers may rage in determining the facts of who is at fault. In the case that it is your fault, you may have to deal with the responsibility to cover all the damages of your car and the other person's car damage.

The additional coverage comes in the form of riders. The good news is that you can add riders to your policy to cover items that your average home owners insurance simply does not cover. The bad news is that these riders will cost you a little extra.

In this day and age, almost everything costs you a little extra. Riders are for covering you possessions that are not covered or are limited in their coverage. Most policies cover the basics while leaving out certain things that are truly valuable. These policies can also refuse to cover items if they are stolen. In order to determine if you need a rider, be aware of which ones are common and which aren't.

While you are shopping, you should make sure that you get the coverage that you know is necessary. After you know what is and what is not covered with your home insurance policy, you will then want to take time to figure out how the claims process works. The claims process can be very different depending on the insurance agency that you are working with.

This doesn't refer to all occasions, but most of the time, if a car is rear-ended, than the car who hit the other car is in the fault. Another rule of thumb is a car taking a left hand turn is most often at fault when an accident results from this turn.

This is another of the common riders. Theft coverage is not included in your run-of-the-mill policy. This means that if somebody breaks in and makes off with your great grandmother's antique silver dinnerware, you won't receive a dime from the insurance agency. Consider adding a silverware rider to your policy if you possess antique and expensive silverware.

After a collision, drivers often may not want to admit who was at fault. People are biased towards themselves and may not realize what actually happened. Asking people who were able to see the collision can often give a great unbiased insight on what actually happened. Having these witnesses write down their name, number, and what they remember from seeing the collision can be of great worth when trying to decide who was at fault.

Chances are that is the cost of your home computer alone. Evaluate how much you have in your home office and look into adding an office equipment rider.

Be sure to thoroughly comprehend your home owners insurance policy. Having adequate coverage is important and is accomplished by doing your research into plans, providers and riders. You may need other riders like artwork, antique or Oriental rug riders. Evaluate how much you have in your home to determine the level of coverage that is right for you.
