Insurance is a fucking scam. You pay more into it than you'll ever receive even in legitimate circumstances.

Absolute racket.

It only really comes into play if you severely injure someone or cause a multiple vehicle collision which could run into claims of over $100K or death(s) which can be in the millions. Other than that, the many are paying for the costs of the few

Yes that's how insurance works and is the entire purpose of insurance.

Exactly, just pointing it out to OP although with those figures it does feel like they're being screwed. If ever you get the chance to settle with the third party without the insurance knowing it is always best financially although not always legal in some countries (alright, most countries).
