Third Party and
Comprehensive Insurance
Third party offers a
measure of coverage to policyholders, including protection
against fire and theft. The law requires we at least have
third-party coverage with indemnity to protect us against
accidents that occurred on shared roads. Under the law if
you cause an accident you will pay for the damage,
injuries, medical treatment, legal, and other costs out of
your pocket. Third Party Coverage is a protection then
“against other people’s claims against you.”
If you have
third-party insurance with “fire and theft” coverage then
this will offer you protection in the event a fire or
theft occurs. If you car catches fire, it is often a total
loss, and thus the insurance company will ‘write-off’ the
car and offer you disbursement to pay for a car of equal
value. Thus, if you have a Security System integrated into
your motor vehicle, this will reduce the costs of
premiums, since if your car is stolen, the thief may be
caught later, but no one can tell what the damage of your
car will be. Thus, insurance companies enjoy providing
coverage to those with security systems integrated into
their car.
The security system
will provide a measure of protection, but unfortunately,
many criminals have the ability to master most technical
devices, therefore, the system will not protect you
entirely. Many insurance companies charge excess fees when
offering insurance coverage. The fees are the worth of
your claims portion. In other words, if you are in an
accident and the company has to pay for the damage of the
third party they may charge you a portion of the costs. A
few insurance companies may dismiss the excess fees if the
policyholder has “put forth all effort to halt or stop the
fire or theft from occurring.”
The companies may
also apply excess fees to your policy in an attempt to
‘reduce your” premiums, at the same time dropping the
risks the insurance company may have in the event a fire
or theft occurs. Of course, the more claims you file when
covered under insurance the higher your premiums will be.
Comprehensive
insurance then is a full coverage policy that will protect
policyholders against fire, theft, personal injury,
accidents, and so forth. Comprehensive insurance will
cover your automobile and any damages, injuries, etc,
fully in the event loss or damage occurs.
Comprehensive insurance will not cover you
on all claims. Therefore, read the information provided by
the insurance company to learn what exclusions if any
exist. The exclusions is what the insurance policy will
not payout. Comprehensive indemnity will cover you if the
other party driving has caused damage to your vehicle.
The third-party claims will not cover
damage to windshields sometimes; however, the
comprehensive coverage will recover the windshield in the
event you suffer loss as a result of fire, theft, or
accident. Since the windshields are considered different
types of ‘excess charge’, thus the insurance companies
often handle the claims differently. This is because the
latent smash up is ’limited to the replacement cost of
the” complete windshield.
The greater part of
car insurance companies will often prohibit coverage on
mechanical and electrical matters. Wear and
tear of your motor vehicle is also prohibited on car
insurance. However comprehensive coverage will often cover
“loss of use” whereas if you are restricted from the use
of you vehicle, they offer rental coverage. This means you
can rent a car until your car is repaired. During the take
out of your policy, you are expected to pay upfront fees,
including excess, portion of premiums, coverage fees and
so forth before you are legally covered.
As you can see third
party coverage offers less coverage than the comprehensive
plans. If you want to protect your self entirely against
problems then it pays to get comprehensive coverage.
However, if you have an old beater then it is not worth
fully covering the vehicle, thus third party liability
coverage is optional. Finally, you must have insurance,
since if you do not you are facing legal penalties. Do not
drive your vehicle until the car is covered by an active
policy.
