What should I make sure my policy includes?

Do I really need to read all the fine print?

While you don't need a law degree or an agent's license to understand your policy, you should read it thoroughly. After all, it is a binding legal contract. If there is anything you don't understand, ask your agent to explain it to you. You have the right to know what's in your policy.

If you wish clarification beyond your agent's explanation, or if you want to be certain that the policy is completely valid, contact your state's insurance department.
