so the way that insurance Works

following a car crash first of all I

think we all know that if you own a car

and you register your car you’re

supposed to have insurance well there’s

different types of insurance and

different amounts of insurance a lot of

times we just think about it and we say

well we’re going to pay our premium we

have our insurance we may or may not

ever need it well what happens in after

a car crash is that the person who

causes the crash their insurance company

is responsible for stepping into the

shoes of the person who caused the crash

and paying out what that person who

caused the crash actually owes and we

say what does that person actually owe

the laws in every state say that if

somebody acts unreasonably in their

driving we all count on each other when

we’re on the road to make it home safely

every night we count on each other

literally with our lives right we drive

next to people and other 4 000 pound 10

boxes driving 45 miles an hour or 60

miles an hour next to each other

counting everybody’s going to do the

right thing if somebody acts

unreasonably and as a result of their

unreasonable conduct in driving causes a

crash that causes injury to your body or

to your car then under the laws in each

state the person who was driving that

vehicle and sometimes the owner or the

employer of the person who is driving

that vehicle has an obligation under the

law to pay compensation to cover the

damages that resulted from their

unreasonable conduct and unreasonable

conduct really that’s negligence that’s

in law school that’s how they Define

negligence it’s unreasonable acting

unreasonably under the circumstances and

so that insurance company steps into the

shoes and is supposed to pay what is

owed by the person who acted

unreasonably or negligently on the road
