California is home to millions of acres of farmland, and it just so happens to lead the U.S. in agricultural production—farming everything from avocados to almonds and just about everything in between. The Golden State is also home to Hollywood in Los Angeles and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. To the north, there are massive red wood trees along the coast and Yosemite National Park to the Northeast.
There is no shortage of things to do in this gorgeous state. But Californians aren’t immune to disaster. That’s why they choose Velox Insurance for both home insurance and auto insurance to protect their property.
Car Insurance Required
Liability coverage is legally required in California and pays for injury and lost wages that you cause to another driver or their passengers as well as damage to the other driver’s vehicle in the event that you are considered “at fault” in an accident. The coverage limits are determined by each individual state and normally split into three categories. In California, the minimum is listed as 15/30/5 and explained below:
- $15,000 bodily injury coverage per person. This is the maximum dollar amount that pays for a single person that you injure in an auto accident.
- $30,000 bodily injury coverage per accident. This is the maximum dollar amount that pays for all injuries that you cause in an accident if more than one person is hurt.
- $5,000 property damage per accident. This is the maximum dollar amount that pays for damage that you cause in an accident.
Optional coverage in California
Collision Coverage
Collision Coverage pays, up to the coverage limits, for damages caused to your vehicle or a vehicle you are operating if it hits another car, object, or overturns. This type of coverage is typically required if you are financing your vehicle.
Comprehensive Physical Damage Coverage
This type of insurance provides coverage for damages to your vehicle or any vehicle in your custody resulting from incidents other than collision such as theft, fire, vandalism, flooding, hail or other perils. It is usually required if you have a vehicle loan.
Liability Coverage
Liability insurance provides coverage to pay for another individual’s bodily injuries or damages to their vehicle or property that you are legally responsible for. This type of insurance is required in most states.
Medical Payments Coverage
If you and your passengers are injured or killed in an accident, Medical Payments Coverage will pay for your doctor, hospital and funeral expenses regardless of who is at fault. This type of insurance also covers you as a pedestrian if you are hit by a vehicle.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists Coverage
If you are in a hit-and-run accident or if you are in an accident with someone who does not have insurance, this Uninsured Motorist Coverage pays for pain and suffering which is not covered by medical, disability and Personal Injury Protection. Underinsured Motorist Coverage pays for bodily injury to you or your family resulting if the person legally responsible does not have adequate coverage.
