Each state in the United States has a different minimum requirement as to how much insurance a driver is required to carry. Below is a list of all states in alphabetical order and their minimum policy requirements. The first two numbers listed after the state refers to bodily injury liability limits and the third number, to the property damage liability. For instance, if the numbers were 15/30/10, it would mean that if you were in an accident, each person injured could receive up to $15,000 with a total amount allowed for all people injured of $30,000 (the second number). The third number, $10,000, refers to the total coverage per accident for “property” damage.

Even though each state specifies a minimum for bodily injury liability, it’s wise to purchase higher limits. This is because if someone is injured and you’re at fault, there’s a good chance the minimum coverage will not cover the injured person’s medical expenses. If that happens, they could hire an attorney and come after your assets. Many insurance companies will tell you that you should purchase at least 100/250 or more of bodily liability insurance. We think it’s a wise decision as well, maybe even more. With the high cost of medical work, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Plus it will allow you more peace of mind, which is what insurance is all about. Speak with your auto insurance agent about the various options and numbers as it applies to your specific situation.

To help prevent your car from being stolen, here are a few tips and suggestions:
Have a “visible” device or alarm that alerts thieves when they look into your vehicle. Devices include steering column bars, brake locks, tire locks, ID markers on the car, window etchings in a visible place, audible alarms, steering wheel and/or brake locks, and wheel locks. Anything a thief sees may help deter them from stealing your car.
Another deterrent is having an immobilizing device hooked up to your car. These devices can prevent thieves bypassing your ignition and hot-wiring your vehicle. Devices include kill switches, smart keys, starter or ignition disablers and gasoline or fuel disablers.
If your car does get stolen, take note of the time of day you last saw your vehicle and where it was parked, what was in the car, etc. Then you’ll want to first notify the police, and next, your auto insurance agent. In most states, you have about 30 days to file a claim when it comes to a stolen automobile.
