Third party’ a popular option

OVER THE past few weeks, we have taken a

closer look at the basic,

compulsory package of

Autopian auto insurance which everyone must
have to get their vehicle licensed and on the road.

In doing so, we've tried to
define coverages like Third
Party Legal Liability, No-
Fault Accident Benefits, In-
verse Liability and the
special protection against

Liability briefly in the
September 22nd _ edition.
Very simply, this coverage
can provide you with a
higher limit of financial pro-
tection in case you cause an

Auto Topic.

uninsured and hit-and-run
motorists.

If you missed the earlier
column, check pages 33 and
34 in your Autoplan
Motorist Kit — the nifty lit-
tle booklet you get from
your broker with your in-
surance papers.

This week, we check out
the most popular optional
coverage — Extended Third
Party Legal Liability.

We talked about Extended

accident resulting in proper-
ty damage, injury or death.

The basic Autoplan
package will pay up to
$200,000 to a third party
with a valid claim against
you. But don’t forget, if an
accident victim gets a
$500,000 claim settlement,
your basic insurance would
only cover $200,000 and you
would most likely be ‘‘on the
hook’’ for the rest.

For the extra premium,

you can raise that limit to as
high as $15 million. Over 61
per cent of all B.C.
motorists carry $1 million
Third Party Liability
coverage, while another 12
per cent have boosted their
limits to $2 million.

Can claims result in set-
tlements that high? If you
are responsible for someone
having suffered serious inju-
ties, the answer is definitely
“yes.”

Late last month, an
Alberta court awarded $5
million to an Edmonton man
paralysed in an auto acci-
dent. His long-term benefits
could amount to $30 million.

While this is an excep-
tionally high settlement on
an auto accident claim, there
is no doubt that the ceurts
are tending to award increas-
ingly larger amounts for the
future care of those with
long-ierm disabilities.

Next week, we'll Jook at
‘“*UMP"' — another ontional
coverage and the perfect
companion for Extended Li-
ability. If you have questions
