It’s common to worry about being "underinsured." After all, no one wants to discover they lack the necessary coverage after an incident. However, the term "overinsured" is often more of a marketing term than an insurance reality. The truth is, there’s no such thing as having too much insurance.

Understanding Fault in Texas Single-Vehicle Accidents

Colorado is an at-fault state, so we have processes to determine who is legally responsible for injuries or damages resulting from an accident and who holds financial responsibility for the injuries and damages. Though it may seem counterintuitive, more than one person or entity may be at fault for a single-vehicle accident. Sometimes, the process finds the vehicle operator is not at fault or is only partially at fault for an accident. Those situations occur when the fault is due to:

• Ice, snow, fog, or other weather-related conditions
• Road faults such as potholes or broken pavement
• Street signage hidden from view
• Hitting an animal or items that fell off another vehicle
• Swerving to avoid another vehicle negligently entering your path
• Vehicle manufacturer or mechanic errors leading to a faulty vehicle

You should obtain a police report for all accidents. You can also help determine fault by safely documenting the accident scene. Pictures or videos that truthfully represent your version of the events may help identify contributing factors to the accident.
