The National Insurance Crime Bureau identified Miami, Florida as the number one city in the United States for staged accidents and related insurance fraud schemes in the nation. The knowledge that car theft and accidents are so common in Florida makes you wonder how you can make sure such an incident doesn’t happen to you. There are some things you can do.
First of all, and possibly most importantly, make sure you have a great Florida car insurance policy. You need to make sure your policy has all of the proper coverages that will fully protect you in case of an accident or theft. In the case of an accident, you need to make sure you purchase the right coverages to cover you, your passengers, the other driver, and damaged property. Theft is covered under the Comprehension coverage portion of your Florida auto insurance policy. However, if you do not make sure Comprehension coverage is added to your policy, you will not have theft coverage.
Another thing you can do to make sure you car doesn’t get stolen is to make sure to keep the doors of your car locked as often as possible. Getting into this habit may make theft more difficult to carry out. Another thing you can do is to have an alarm system installed into your car. Though it may cost you some money now, it could pay off later.
