The state of Michigan requires all drivers who operate vehicles on the highway and in the city to have proof of auto insurance at all times. There are specific stipulations that satisfy the insurance requirement, which include policy limits as well as deductible minimums. An agent at Guy Hurley McNeil can help you find the auto insurance plan that fits your preferences and satisfies the requirements in Rochester Hills, MI.
Michigan auto insurance requirements
Drivers in the state of Michigan must provide proof of the bare minimum insurance coverage. At the very least, every driver should have a policy that offers:
-
$20,000 bodily injury per person with at least $40,000 bodily injury for all persons involved in the accident
-
$10,000 for property damage
-
$20,000 for bodily injury in instances where the person at-fault lacks proper coverage. Drivers should have coverage that provides $40,000 for bodily injury for all persons involved in the accident.
-
Unlimited personal injury that requires a maximum deductible of $500
Is the minimum enough?
In many cases, the minimum is not enough. Such is especially true in cities such as Detroit and Rochester Hills, MI, where the price to replace a car damaged beyond repair can exceed $10,000. Medical bills are all a factor as the cost of proper care can go well beyond $20,000 per person.
Experts suggest drivers maintain insurance policy limits that are no less than $100,000 for property damage and $300,000 for bodily injury. It may even be a good idea to have policy limits that swell to $500,000 in an accident.
