The unpredictability of traffic behavior and lapses on human judgment can make the most experienced driver to someone who is most likely to cause an accident. At the event of this unfortunate event, an insurance policy holder is automatically entitled to claim compensatory amount for the damages incurred in the accident. Sad to say not everyone is entitled to this privilege because not everyone is an insurance policy holder. The importance of car insurance policies in the life of a policy holder is best realized through the advantages a policy holder will get as compared to a non- holder in worse of times.

The main advantages of a policy holder include personal and financial advantages. A policy holder does not need to go through the unfortunate event alone, he or she will be continually receive support in different forms like due process assistance and legal advising. The policy holder has the privilege of getting full blast support from the legal experts hired by the insurance companies to assist in the legal processes. Financial support is the main feature of insurance policies, it give support to policy holders through compensations. The different compensations given out by the insurance companies let policy holders feel assured that everything is covered. The coverage that is provided by the insurance companies assures a hassle free financial status.

Sad to say, policy non- holders have to pay for everything that they have caused. A non holder should personally seek legal advice for the legal due processes needed to be accomplished. Regardless of the possibility that the uninsured person is the one responsible or not, he or she will shoulder all expenses to be incurred in the different processes needed. The uninsured person that is deemed to be liable would appear to the courts through personal funding and still have to pay for the due processes even if he or she is proven to be not guilty of the crime. On the other hand if the uninsured person is deemed to be liable the courts will further assign a compensatory amount to be paid by the uninsured person to the offended party. A failure to pay the amount will even result to another lawsuit to be filed in another court by the offended party.

The negative implications of being uninsured outweighs the financial requirements of applying for an insurance policy. An insured person is financially sound every step of the way, while an uninsured person is always gambling for possible financial losses.
