What Does Their Auto Insurance Cover?
Like most car insurance policies, Kanetix provides liability, property and medical coverage. The liability portion pays for any legal repercussions that may come from causing property damage or bodily harm to others. Property protection will pay for any damage to your vehicle. The medical coverage portion protects you against the cost of rehabilitation, injury treatment and in some cases funeral expenses and lost wages. The exact things covered on an insurance policy will be dependent on your insurance company and the auto insurance policy that you choose. Kanetix has an extensive website so visit it to find out more about their specific product offerings.
