• $50,000; Bodily injury coverage per accident; Maximum payment for serious or permanent injury or death to multiple people

The state requires drivers to carry a minimum of $25,000 of bodily injury liability per person and $50,000 per accident. You’re also required to have $15,000 of property damage liability insurance. These coverages protect you if you’re found at-fault in an accident.

Tennessee is a “fault” state, which means the at-fault driver in a car accident is responsible for paying for damages. This means you should carry as much liability insurance as you can afford to protect yourself should you be found at-fault in an accident.

It’s illegal to operate a vehicle in Tennessee with the following BAC percentages:
