Reader’s Question:
My daughter does not own a vehicle, do I still have to add her to my car insurance policy in Laredo, Texas?
Amanda
Laredo TX
Once your daughter becomes a licensed driver most insurance providers will require you to add her on your car insurance policy since she will likely have access to your car and therefore be required for coverage.
According to the Texas Department of Insurance you can remove your teen driver from your car insurance policy by buying a non-owner policy. This however is usually not a good idea since a non-owner policy just provides additional liability insurance when operating a a non-owned automobile. If your teen daughter gets into an accident while operating your automobile, neither your car insurance policy nor the non-owner policy will pay for your automobile’s damage. You might also be financially unprotected if held responsible for an accident caused by your minor teen daughter. So, if the non-owner policy is rated properly, your teen’s liability insurance might more expensive than if she was on your car insurance policy in Laredo Texas.

Automobile Insurance Claims Dallas Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
What does “doubtful and disputed claim” mean relating to auto insurance in Dallas Texas?
Harold
Dallas TX
The clause “doubtful and disputed claim” is typically in a car insurance settlement agreement. This is a way that an car insurance carrier tries to minimize their liability and risk. So basically the insurance provider is settling with you but without admitting liability.
Many car insurance settlements also have a clause “hold harmless”. This basically means that when you sign the release, the car insurance claim is over once and for all. With regards to the hold harmless clause, the insurer is saying that if you initiate legal action against the insurance company or their policy holder after signing the release you will be liable for any legal fees that they incur defending your legal action.
The purpose of this is to prevent you from changing your mind at a later time and try to get more money. In this manner if you change your mind and cause the policyholder or insurance carrier to incur defense fees they have the right to sue you to get paid back the legal cost.
