What is Motor Insurance?
Motor Insurance is designed to protect vehicle owners from financial loss arising from accidents, theft, or damage to their vehicles. It provides coverage for various risks, including damage to your own vehicle as well as liability for injuries or damage caused to third parties in the event of an accident. In many places, having at least third-party insurance is a legal requirement to ensure that drivers are financially responsible for the harm they might cause to others.
Comprehensive Motor Insurance extends beyond the basic third-party liability coverage, offering protection against a wide range of potential issues such as fire, theft, vandalism, and natural disasters. Additionally, it may include personal accident coverage for medical expenses or compensation for injuries or death resulting from an accident. Various add-ons and riders, such as roadside assistance or zero depreciation cover, can further customize the policy to meet individual needs, providing additional security and convenience.
