Car Insurance
Auto insurance in the United States
Coverage generally
Consumers may be protected by different levels of coverage depending on which insurance policy they purchase. Some states require drivers to carry at least liability insurance coverage to ensure that their drivers can cover the cost of damage to other people or property in the event of an accident. Some states, such as Wisconsin, have more flexible "proof of financial responsibility" requirements.
In the United States, automotive liability insurance covers claims against the policy holder and usually any other operator of an insured vehicle; provided they do not live at the same address as the policy holder and are not specifically excluded on the policy. Drivers living at the same address must specifically be covered on the policy. Thus it is necessary, for example, when a young adult reaches driving age that they be added to the policy. Liability insurance sometimes does not protect the policy holder if they operate any vehicles other than their own. When you drive another person's car you are not necessarily covered under their policy. Non-owners policies are also available. These policies insure drivers on any vehicle they drive, even if it belongs to someone else.[citation needed] This coverage is available only to those who do not own their own vehicle and is sometimes required by the government for drivers who have previously been found at fault in an accident.[citation needed] Non-owners policies are also known as Named Operator Policies.[citation needed] The policies are useful for people whose drivers license has been suspended and they have to have insurance for their license to be reinstated.
