If a motorist is properly insured, and you get into an accident with that motorist at their fault, you will find that in most cases their insurance company will take financial responsibility for any damages that you may have incurred, as a result of that accident.
A great tool to help you in obtaining information about auto insurance providers is the internet.
I would recommend that all motorists first try to obtain an auto insurance quote from multiple insurance providers, before making any final decisions.
Your monthly auto insurance obligation does not have to cost you a fortune.
There are many great companies out there that offer very competitive rates.
