Then he gets into an accident during bad weather, for which no one is at fault. Kit is not injured, but his car valued at $51,900 is totaled. His insurance company pays the claim and Kit replaces his car. If he did not have automobile insurance, how much more would have Kit paid for damages than what he had invested in his insurance policy?
