Indiana is no different from many U.S. states — all drivers there must have car insurance. Here’s what Indiana requires before you get behind the wheel:[8]
Bodily injury liability: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident
Property damage liability: $25,000 per accident
The state also requires you to have uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage in the following limits, unless you decline it in writing:[9]
Uninsured motorist bodily injury (UM): $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident
UM property damage: $25,000 per accident
Underinsured motorist bodily injury: $50,000 per accident
Many car insurance experts recommend buying coverage above Indiana’s minimum limits. If you get into an accident that leaves you or your passengers with injuries or car damage, the state’s minimum limits likely won’t be enough to cover everything.
Say you cause an accident that totals someone’s $40,000 SUV. Your $25,000 state-minimum property damage coverage would leave you paying $15,000 out of pocket. Higher coverage limits protect your savings and assets from these potential costs.
Plus, if you finance or lease your car, your lender will require comprehensive and collision coverage.
