FAQ's for Drivers in Rochester, MN

What Is the Minimum Liability Coverage Requirement in Rochester, MN?

Motorists must maintain $30,000 in bodily injury liability for injuries to one person and $60,000 for injuries to two or more people per accident. Also, $10,000 in property damage liability is required to cover physical damage to the other driver’s vehicle or for damage to property. Minnesota drivers are also required to carry $40,000 in personal injury protection.

Additionally, uninsured motorist coverage in the amount of $25,000 for injuries to one person and $50,000 for injuries to two or more people and underinsured motorist coverage in the amount of $25,000 for injuries to one person and $50,000 for injuries to two or more people are required by law.

•  $10,000; Property damage per accident; Maximum payment for all damaged property in an accident caused by you

While it may seem like a poor use of your hard-earned money to add optional coverages to your policy, you’ll be happy to have the extra financial protection if you’re involved in a serious accident. Plus, most financial lenders require collision and comprehensive coverage, and some may require more than that. Check with your lender before taking out a new insurance policy to make sure you’re properly covered. If you don’t have adequate protection, your lender can buy insurance on your behalf, and this will cost a lot more than getting it on your own.
