The adage about the more things change the more they stay the same really rings home.

When you purchase automobile liability insurance, you generally provide coverage for claims by others due to an accident caused by some mistake on your part. Unfortunately, the first “mistake” many people make is failing to provide adequate coverage for themselves and their family members.
