What Is the Minimum Liability Coverage Requirement in Lafayette, IN?

Indiana law requires that drivers carry at least $25,000 per person of bodily injury liability, $50,000 per accident of bodily injury liability, and $10,000 per accident of property damage liability.

Indiana is a tort state when it comes to auto accidents. This means the insurance company of the driver found at fault in an accident must pay damages to everyone injured in the accident.

• $25,000; Bodily injury coverage per person; Maximum payment for serious or permanent injury or death to a single person
• $50,000; Bodily injury coverage per accident; Maximum payment for serious or permanent injury or death to multiple people
• $10,000; Property damage per accident; Maximum payment for all damaged property in an accident caused by you

Although laws in Indiana do not require drivers to carry comprehensive and collision insurance, most lenders insist on this level of financial protection when financing a vehicle. The cost of this extra insurance should be factored into your overall monthly payments when considering an auto loan.

In Indiana, you can be charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) if you have a BAC or any illegal drugs in your system. This is true even if your driving ability seems intact.
