Is Auto Insurance Mandatory in California?
California state law requires all drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability insurance. Auto insurance requirements in California are:
-
$30,000 in bodily injury liability per more than one person
-
$5,000 in property damage liability
These are only the minimum car insurance requirements in California. They do not represent how much coverage you should have on your vehicle, however. Liability alone will not cover damages to your vehicle or any injures you or your passengers may suffer after an accident.
What Does Auto Insurance Cover in California?
Along with liability insurance, drivers in California should also consider coverages such as:
-
Comprehensive: Comprehensive coverage provides compensation for damages to your vehicle due to fire, wind, hail, lightning, smoke, theft, vandalism and other incidents not involving collision.
-
Collision: Collision coverage provides compensation for damages to your vehicle due to a collision with another vehicle or object.
-
Medical Payments Coverage: Medical payments coverage helps with you and your passengers’ medical bills after an accident, no matter who is declared at-fault.
-
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist: This insurance provides compensation for damages that occur in an accident involving a driver who is not carrying insurance.
-
Roadside Assistance: Roadside assistance helps with trip interruption expenses such as running out of gas and needing to be towed.
