Insurance

It can also provide protection against physical damage to the insured vehicle. It must contain the name and address the named insured as well as the protection provided by the policy. It also includes the amount of the premium and the time frame for the period for which the policy is in effect, and the maximum amount of responsibility. It should also contain an agreement or a statement that the insurance coverage is provided in accordance with the coverage specified in respect of injuries to the body or death or property damage and is subject to all the provisions of this chapter.
The language used in a motor automobile vehicle policy can be confusing for anyone, and Duncanville law firms often recommend that individuals review the sample policy to be aware of the terms. One of the most frequently encountered areas of confusion is the definition of the term "motor vehicle."

Some examples of coverage under a motor vehicle policy include commercial automobile insurance for vehicles used in connection with business, commercial establishments, jobs, or other activities carried on for profit; automobile liability insurance that includes MP and PIP, and uninsured motorist and underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM). Many states require drivers to have this kind of insurance.
Permissive Use
If someone other than the named insured or family member is driving your car and gets involved in an accident, it is important to understand how insurance coverage works in these instances. This is known as permissive utilization. The specific terms of your insurance policy might vary, but most large automobile insurers provide this kind of coverage.
However, it is important to remember that the person driving your vehicle must have your permission in order for you to be held liable for any damage. Permission may be either implied or explicit but does not necessarily need to be in writing.
In determining whether there is implied permission, courts consider the relationship between the two parties; their previous conduct and the use of the vehicle; and the circumstances surrounding the specific driving event that is in question. A court will also consider whether any restrictions were imposed on the permissive usage and if slight deviation from the date, time, and location limitations of the initial permission would be in violation of these restrictions.
Remember that adding an additional driver to your insurance policy is likely to increase your premium, because the vehicle becomes more difficult to cover. Therefore, it is important to be aware of your options before lending your vehicle out to others.
