FAQ's for Drivers in Sparks, NV

What Is the Minimum Liability Coverage Requirement in Sparks, NV?

Every state requires drivers to have a minimum amount of liability coverage. Nevada drivers are required to carry liability insurance to pay for damages and injuries inflicted on someone else in an auto accident.

• $15,000; Bodily injury coverage per person; The minimum coverage amount for serious or permanent injury or death to a single person
• $30,000; Bodily injury coverage per accident; The minimum requirement to cover two or more persons hurt or killed in an accident
• $10,000; Property damage per accident; Coverage for all damaged property in an accident caused by you

Nevada requires motorists to carry a minimum of $15,000 for bodily injury or death of one person and $30,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more persons in any one accident. Drivers must also carry $10,000 to cover property damage of others in any one accident.

Nevada may require a lower level of coverage than some other states, but it’s risky to only opt for the minimum required by law.
