Reader question:

Okay, I got into a car accident, and I didn’t outright cause it, but if it weren’t for certain physical limitations of mine, it wouldn’t have been as bad as it was. Will I still be able to make a car insurance claim for my injuries?

That’s a great question, Lucy.

On every subject, there is a situation that is not as clear as others. While it is easy to say who is at fault when someone rear ends another car, it is a bit more difficult to say if someone had some sort of fault if their eyesight was not in good enough shape to be able to drive in the safest way possible on the road. If you have some type of physical limitation that makes you wonder if some of the negligence in an accident may be put on you, then this might make you think as little bit.

There are many physical limitations that have an effect on driving, and one of the main ones is eyesight. This is one reason why car insurance companies often only give discounts for senior physical car insurance liability premiums if those seniors get regular exams to make sure that they are in the best shape to be driving. There comes a point when simple corrective lenses do not work. However, most people are able to wear glasses and contacts to solve this problem. Then there are other situations–perhaps someone has a leg that shakes a little bit, which caused them to put their foot on the gas and make a accident caused by someone else worse.

There is an expectation from the car insurance company that a driver who has certain limitations will take certain measures that may be necessary to lessen or get rid of the impact that their problem might have on their driving. For this reason, there might not be an excuse if someone with very bad vision goes driving without their glasses. However, there are some conditions which may slightly worsen an accident, although not causing it, which are normally not dangerous and can not be expected to be taken care of in any other way; or if someone has already accounted for their physical limitations and is driving safely.

The truth is that the final responsibility falls on the person who caused the accident. It is their responsibility to make sure that it is safe for anyone who may be driving on the road or their property, regardless of their physical limitations. If someone plows into the side of your car, then it is not your fault that you were put into that situation, because that was due to their own negligence. Therefore, in most cases, you are not at all at fault.

However, there are some instances in which the situation may become a little more murky, such as if your problem should have been taken care of before you went driving or if it contributed more significantly to the damages. In these cases, it would be wise to hire a car insurance liability claim attorney, who can help you navigate the claims system and get the negligence quotient that you deserve.

How do you save money on your high performance car insurance? By proving to your high performance car insurance company that you know what you are doing when it comes to safety. This isn’t hard to do, and it involves more than just driving within the speed limit. But having a safe car discount can often take ten to fifteen percent off of your expensive high performance car insurance premium, so there is no excuse for avoiding taking advantage of this great premium reducing chance.

It’s no secret that high performance cars are more likely to get stolen than other cars, so these types of cars require extra safet measures than others. Not only will they help you get lower car insurance comprehensive rates over all, but most car insursance companies will give you a discount if you have more safety features on your car. So what kind of safety features do you need to get low high performance car insurance comprehensive coverage rates? An alarm. There are several types of alarms, though.

  • Active vs. Passive

Alarms can be divided into two main groups, being active or pasive. A passive alarm is one that has to be activated by the driver every time they leave their car. This type of alarm is more dangerous, because it is very easy to forget to activate it, especially when you have just gotten it. The other type of alarm is an active alarm. This kind of alarm is constantly active, regardless of any involvement from the driver. The type of alarm that the car insurance companies will give you a discount for is the active alarm, because they do not trust you to be able to remember to turn the passive alarm on all the time, so your car would not be considered to be constantly protected with that type.

  • Whistles, mechanical, and disablers.

Beyond that, there are three more subgroups of car alarms, and the first one is the most common that comes on most cars. It’s the alarm that just makes your lights flash and makes noise. Then there are the mechanical ones, which make it to where the thief would not be able to drive by doing things such as freezing the wheel up. Finally, there are the disabling ones. This will make it to where the thief cannot even start the car by disabling the ignition. Of all of these, the one that your high performance car insurance company will give you a discount for is the third.
