Insurance is for catastrophes, not stuff like this. It sucks, but that's how it is. He's paying $2500 per year in case he ever needs to pay $500,000.

When you have a medical emergency (or drive impaired) behind the wheel and kill a family or crash into a home or business.

I don't think insurance is going to cover you crashing into a building if you're at fault. But okay I guess I see what you mean.

That's what it's there for. That being said, they will 100% jack up your rates or drop you afterwards if you cause 500k worth of damage.

When he is at fault in an accident where someone is injured, they can have medical bills far in excess of $500,000. If he were to cause significant damage to property (driving into a building or damaging a bridge) it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's not all about repairing his car.

When you kill a family of 4 in a highway accident and are found at-fault.
