The importance of car insurance
Car insurance can protect your vehicles but, most importantly, the auto liability portion covers the large amounts that can result if you’re sued for bodily injury or property damage caused to another person. With the cost of medical care at an all time high, the costs of an accident can easily reach into the hundreds of thousands. At Scheff Insurance, we’ll explain your coverage, why it’s important, and help you find great rates by automatically comparing quotes from up to 20 top insurance companies.

Common questions
Car insurance transfers risk from you to the insurance company. You pay the insurance company a premium and they agree to cover the cost of certain accidental events. For instance, auto liability covers medical expenses for people you injure in an at-fault accident. The premium paid is kept by the insurance company whether or not you experience a claim. This allows the company to cover the cost of claims that do happen.
The term “no fault” insurance in Minnesota refers to the personal injury protection coverage required by law. It doesn’t apply to property damage or liability. PIP is paid out of your own policy, regardless of who was at fault in an accident. It covers lost wages and medical expenses but only up to a limit. Expenses beyond the limit can be recovered from the liable party, which would be covered under auto liability.
