What is car insurance?
Car insurance is the legal financial help offered by an insurance provider to a vehicle owner or third party in the event of auto accidents for any reason or third-party damage caused by the vehicle. All automobile owners are required by law to have third-party insurance cover. This is because the car’s owner is liable if the car’s usage in a public location causes injury to a third party. As a result, driving without insurance in public is illegal.
