As the population of the United States grows, so too does the number of drivers on the road and thus the customer base for motor insurance. In 2022, there were over 280 million registered vehicles on the roads in the United States. Of those millions of registered vehicles, each year there are also millions of vehicle crashes. Road traffic fatalities in the U.S. peaked in 2021. So while many individuals feel secure in their vehicles, the statistics indicate the importance of automobile insurance and in most cases, auto insurance is required by law. Auto insurance is important because it not only covers any physical damage that may occur in an accident, but also any damage or injury that might be caused because of a vehicular accident or which may be done upon oneself or one’s vehicle by another vehicle or accident – a falling tree for example.
