If you are covered for more than you need, you are also throwing money out the window as well.

What if someone other than me causes an accident in my car?Generally, insurance goes with the vehicle. For example, if you have an accident while in someone else's vehicle, the owner's insurance would first be applied toward damages to the vehicle.

For example, say a person I know is driving my car and is injured in an accident, the coverage on my own car will cover any damage specifically on my car, but their Broomfield auto insurance will cover injuries caused to their person.
What is the most important thing to do if I get in an accident?
First and most importantly, make sure that you and that everyone else is okay and get help for the injured. The next important step is to make sure to notify the police so that they can file a report. The more information that you can gather, the better. Also, if you or passengers are hurt, and save all records of medical expenses, such as bills or receipts.
What do I do if my car breaks down?Safety of all passengers in the car is the number one thing to think about when your vehicle breaks down.
* Do not try to repair or take a look at any damage while you are still in the road.
Take advantage of your mobile phone to call for assistance.
* Don't forget to turn on the hazard lights. Once out of danger, be sure your location is obvious by using road flares or the orange triangles.
* If something caused your tire to deflate, be absolutely sure to get the car to a place safely out of traffic before trying to fix or replace it - even if the rest of the wheel is demolished in the process.
Suggestion in cold weather: Keep a blanket to fend off the cold in the storage of your car if you are stuck in frigid conditions waiting for help. Also carry a shovel and sand in the event your car is stuck in the snow. Do not try to dig yourself out unless your car is in a safe place.

Will my premiums skrocket if I get into an accident or get a speeding ticket?The definition of "a lot" or "skyrocket" is dependent on the perspective of the client, but sadly your premiums more than likely will go up. Because insurance is based on risk factors, and traffic violations like speeding attribute to being "higher risk," the amount you pay will probably go up.
