What insurance requirements must California drivers meet?
November 6, 2024 – Sean Shamsi
California law mandates drivers to carry minimum auto insurance coverage, including $15,000 for injury or death to one person, $30,000 for injury or death to more than one person, and $5,000 for property damage — commonly referred to as 15/30/5 liability limits. While these are the minimum requirements, considering additional coverage options, such as uninsured/underinsured motorist protection, to offer more comprehensive financial protection in case of an accident is advisable.
