This includes $25,000 for injuries to the first person injured in an accident, $50,000 for all injuries, and $25,000 for property damage. At Birdsong Agency Inc. in Snellville, GA, we work closely with our customers to ensure they have the best coverage for their needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Coverage for Loans or Leases<\/h2>\n<p>If you have an auto loan or lease, you&#8217;ll be required to carry additional coverage to protect the vehicle. This includes comprehensive and collision coverage.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Basic Liability May Not Be Enough<\/h2>\n<p>Basic liability coverage may not provide adequate protection if you have substantial assets. Given the high cost of medical treatment, you could be left with a large medical bill to pay out of pocket. If you have significant assets, consider getting an umbrella policy.<\/p>\n<h2>The Need for Collision and Comprehensive Coverage<\/h2>\n<p>Collision and comprehensive coverage protect your vehicle if it&#8217;s damaged in an accident for which you&#8217;re responsible or from various non-collision events. Basic insurance may suffice if you can afford to replace your vehicle or manage without it. However, if you rely on your vehicle for daily activities and don&#8217;t have a large cash reserve, insurance to repair or replace your vehicle can make a significant difference. Remember, you&#8217;ll need to pay a deductible, which you choose when you take out your policy.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Birdsong Agency Inc. in Snellville, GA, to discuss your auto insurance needs with one of our independent insurance agents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Georgia, the minimum requirement for auto insurance is basic liability coverage of 25\/50\/25.
