Car Insurance Day is an annual American holiday dedicated to car insurance. This procedure is widespread both in the United States and in other countries. The holiday is on February 1st.
History
Car insurance is a procedure by which car owners can insure their cars through special organizations. The list of cases in which insurance is valid includes theft, accident, breakdown, and more. Car insurance allows drivers to receive compensation for damage in the event of an insured situation.
The concept of insurance appeared in society thanks to Benjamin Franklin. This remarkable man, who was directly involved in the creation of the United States and achieved great success in various fields, created the first insurance company in 1751. People could insure their property against fire.
The first car was created by K. Benz in 1886. Eleven years later, mechanic Gilbert J. Loomis created his own car and issued the world’s first insurance policy for it. Over the course of a century, the auto insurance industry has been actively developing and improving. In 1927, compulsory auto insurance was introduced in Massachusetts, making it the first state to have such rules.
