Bodily injury liability auto insurance is comprised of two parts, which are generally written like 25/50 or $25,000/$50,000. The first number states how much your auto insurance will pay out for bodily injury to a single person, while the second number tells you the limit your insurance will pay out for multiple people.
Property damage liability insurance, required in Nevada, keeps you from having to pay for damages that result from an accident that you caused. This insurance pays to repair or replace the vehicle that you hit, and can also take care of the repair or replacement costs of any personal belongings.
In April of 2017, the Nevada Senate approved a bill that will nearly double the minimum liability coverage limits. Beginning on July 1, 2018, drivers will be required to carry at least $25,000 in bodily injury liability, $50,000 in bodily injury liability per accident, and $20,000 in property damage liability.
Determining if you can use a personal auto insurance policy or that you should get a commercial auto insurance policy can be tricky. Sometimes you can buy a personal auto policy for business use and can be enough for some businesses. But if you are required to cover high liability coverage, have an unusual vehicle to insure, haul equipment, are a taxi or rideshare driver, you are probably going to need commercial auto insurance or special endorsements and coverages.
If you have a car that you are just storing, or if you’re planning to leave your car here in the U.S. while you leave the country, or if you just don’t drive the car and don’t want to pay for auto insurance, here are some tips to consider before doing so.
Many drivers would not even consider looking into insurance coverage on an after-market audio system. There are a few things to consider, however. Is it covered by your auto insurance?
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is used when you are hit by a driver that has insufficient coverage or no coverage at all. This optional coverage helps to compensate you for damages, up to your policy limit.
If your car was hit by someone and they do the legal/right thing by admitting it and paying for it, all is well. The “at fault” driver’s insurance will cover it under their property damage portion of their insurance for your car to be fixed. In the case that someone hits your beautiful new car while you are in the store and drives away, what do you do?
The responsibility of who pays what in Nevada is contingent on who’s at-fault in an auto accident. All drivers in Nevada have an obligation to drive their automobiles safely to reduce any risks of potential accidents. In Nevada, if you are the at-fault driver (the person that caused the accident), then you are responsible to “make whole” the individual or property you hit.
Personal items such as a tablet, wallet, or any personal valuables are not generally covered in your auto insurance policy. Those items would be covered in your homeowners/renters policy. You would have a deductible to pay for first, and then you’d need to consider the consequences of a claim on your homeowners policy.
