What are the Minnesota car insurance laws?
Drivers need liability coverage limits of at least:
- $30,000 in bodily injury per person
- $60,000 in total bodily injury per accident
- $10,000 in property damage per accident
When considering liability limits, take your overall net worth into account. You can choose higher limits than those required in Minnesota for added protection.
Minnesota also requires personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured/underinsured bodily injury coverage (UM/UIM BI) with the following minimum limits:
- PIP: $40,000 ($20,000 for medical expenses, 20,000 for economic reasons such as lost wages)
- UM/UIM BI: $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident
PIP covers your medical costs, as well as lost wages and death benefits, and pays out even if you're at fault. UM/UIM BI pays for medical expenses for you and your passengers if you are hit by a driver with little or no insurance.
Comprehensive and collision coverage protect your vehicle
If you're leasing or financing a vehicle in Minnesota, most lenders will mandate that you carry physical damage coverages. And unless your vehicle holds little value, it's wise to add them. Comprehensive and collision pay for the repair or replacement of your car if it's in an accident, gets stolen, or is otherwise damaged as a result of a covered incident.
