Washington requires all drivers to have car insurance, like nearly every other state. Here are the specific coverage requirements you must meet to be roadworthy:
$25,000 for bodily injury liability coverage per person
$50,000 for bodily injury liability coverage per accident
$10,000 for property damage liability coverage
Washington’s uninsured motorist rate is moderately high. To protect yourself from drivers without insurance or people without enough coverage, you may want to consider uninsured motorist coverage for greater financial protection.
Legally, you only need to purchase the limits mentioned above. But most industry experts strongly suggest buying coverage above the state’s minimum limits. Like many states, Washington’s minimum requirements won’t cover you and your assets if you cause a serious accident that results in your own injury or car damage.
Just consider that if you cause an accident that seriously injures someone, their medical bills alone could easily exceed $25,000, leaving you personally responsible for any amount above your coverage limit. And remember — lenders require comprehensive and collision coverage if you finance or lease your vehicle.
Here are answers to some of the most common questions about car insurance in Spokane.
