Most states require you to carry a minimum amount of auto insurance. However, each state differs in its exact insurance requirements.
For example, Nevada requires car owners to maintain an insurance policy with liability limits of:
- $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person in any one accident;
- $50,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more persons in any one accident; and
- $20,000 for injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident (property damage liability).
Different Types of Auto Insurance Policies
While some people choose to only buy the bare minimum coverage that is required, there are many different types of coverage that you can purchase to provide you with additional coverage in the event of an auto accident.
Here’s a few of the most common auto coverage options.
