Melanie

Thank you for asking.

It is requires for all motorist in the state of Georgia to carry accident liability insurance for each of the cars they own. This mandatory liability insurance will help cover any damages or medical payments for those injured in the accidents. The minimum amounts that you may be covered in order to satisfy the law are:

$25000 per person for bodily injury
$50000 per accident for bodily injury to two or more people
$25000 per accident for the property damage

It is possible for the state now to verify your insurance status online. It is required that all insurance companies should submit policy information to a state wide database electronically when an individual purchases an insurance. You may also be able to check with the Department of Revenue website your status online and verify if your insurance coverage is properly documented to save you time and expense in the future.

The processing time is 30 days to transmit the data by the insurance companies.

Goodluck!

Thank you for asking Fred.

Georgia law requires all motorist to purchase the minimum liability coverage of some or all of the following types of the liability coverage. the liability coverage includes :

Bodily injury liability

This would protect your assets if in the even of auto accident you are held liable for the people injured or killed

Property damage liability:

This covers the repairs and the replacement of the car and properties of other people

Uninsured/underinsured coverage:

This covers and insures you of your losses caused by other drivers with little insurance or no insurance at all.

You may also want to purchase more than the minimum amount of coverage required for Georgia to fully protects you. Although this is optional in most states, it makes sense to purchase them unless you can afford to pay for the damages in case of accident.

Collision:

this pays the repair or replacement of your car if its damaged due to accident

comprehensive:

covers all the damages to your car against theft ,flood or vandalism..etc

medical payments or personal injury protection

covers medical expenses that is not covered by your health insurance or your passengers

The best coverage to choose are those which will gets you fully covered and saves you an amount of money. You may call your insurance company to discuss which coverage suits your needs.

Goodluck!
