It also financially protects&nbsp;drivers involved in a crash&nbsp;so they aren\u2019t left having to pay out of pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-insurance-to-legally-drive\">How much car insurance do I need to legally drive?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You need an auto policy with your state\u2019s minimum insurance requirements in order to legally drive. Each state has its own car insurance requirements, which typically include a minimum amount of <a href=\"\/car-insurance\/what-is-liability-car-insurance-and-what-does-it-cover\/\">liability insurance<\/a>. Some states also require uninsured\/underinsured motorist coverage, personal injury protection or medical payments coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn more:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/car-insurance\/types-of-car-insurance\/\">Types of car insurance<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insurers must sell you at least your state\u2019s minimum required insurance, so as long as you buy an auto policy, you&#8217;ll meet your state&#8217;s legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in a state that only requires liability insurance, a minimum coverage policy would pay for the damage you may do to another person or their property, up to your policy limits, but not damage done to you or your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liability limits are usually expressed in a format like 25\/50\/25, which means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$25,000 for bodily injury liability per person per accident.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$50,000 of bodily injury liability total per accident.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$25,000 of property damage liability per accident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your state requires 25\/50\/25 coverage and you cause $30,000 in property damage, your insurer would pay $25,000 and you would owe $5,000 out of pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-jerry-key-takeaway border-primary flex flex-col rounded bg-gray-50 p-6 border-l-4\"><div class=\"flex flex-col md:block md:space-x-1\"><span class=\"has-primary-color text-lg font-semibold\">Jerry insight<\/span><span class=\"text-gray-900 text-base\">Purchasing only your state\u2019s required insurance limits may leave you financially vulnerable, especially if you cause an accident with expensive injuries and property damage.

Living in one means drivers go to their own insurers first to cover their medical expenses after a crash, no matter who caused it. No-fault states require drivers to carry <a href=\"\/car-insurance\/personal-injury-protection-insurance\/\">personal injury protection (PIP)<\/a>, which pays for drivers\u2019 and their passengers\u2019 medical bills, lost wages and other expenses after an accident. Once a driver\u2019s PIP limits are hit, they can pursue the at-fault driver for additional compensation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in a no-fault state and cause an accident while uninsured, you may face lower out-of-pocket costs, but once the other driver hits their insurance limits, you may still be held responsible for any remaining property damage and medical costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cNo pay, no play\u201d laws<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some state laws limit an uninsured driver\u2019s ability to collect damages after an accident they didn\u2019t cause.
