STATE INSURANCE MINIMUMS


All states require drivers to maintain minimum levels of liabilty insurance coverage in order to legally operate a motor vehicle. The following figures are from the 1997 Property/Casualty Fact Book, published by the Insurance Information Institute.

There are three numbers "1/2/3" in the chart -

The first number (1) represents the liability maximum for each individual injured party in an accident.
The second number (2) represents the total liability maximum for all injured parties in a single accident.
The third number (3) represents the total property damage maximum for a single accident.

All numbers are in thousands of dollars.
