Mandatory Auto Insurance in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania law requires motorists to carry a minimum amount of auto insurance. Your policy should at least contain:

  • Medical benefits — $5,000 for your medical bills, regardless of who was at fault in the crash
  • Bodily injury liability for one injured person — $15,000 for one person whom you are responsible for injuring in a single accident
  • Bodily injury liability for all injured people — $30,000 total damages for all the people you are responsible for injuring in a single accident
  • Property damage liability — $5,000 for someone else’s property you are responsible for damaging It is prudent to carry more than the minimum amount of coverage. Although you pay higher premiums, additional coverage can help you avoid personal financial responsibility if you cause a serious car accident. You can buy optional coverage in addition to the mandatory minimum required by state law, including:
  • Uninsured motorists (UM) — Covers injuries to you and your passengers if an uninsured motorist causes your accident
  • Underinsured motorists (UIM) — Covers injuries to you and your passengers if an underinsured motorist who is at fault for your crash does not have enough insurance to cover your damages

    Other types of optional insurance coverage pay compensation for property damage, rental costs and death benefits.

Dramshop Laws of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania dramshop laws impose liability on those who serve alcohol to an intoxicated person or to someone who is under the legal drinking age of 21, if the drunk or underage person causes an accident. The dramshop laws are particularly important if the drunk driver who ran into you is uninsured or underinsured.
