How Much Auto Insurance Do You Need in Illinois?

Under Illinois law, all drivers must carry liability insurance to meet the state’s minimum requirements. This includes:

• Bodily injury liability can help cover costs related to injuries or death caused to another person when you’re at fault.

• Property damage liability can help cover damage to another person’s vehicle or property.

• Uninsured motorist coverage is automatically included with Illinois auto policies. This coverage can help pay for your accident-related injuries or death if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured at-fault driver.

These policies have dollar limits. Minimum liability coverage may not be sufficient in an at-fault accident. Many Illinois drivers choose liability limits that exceed the state’s minimum requirements.

Optional policies can help provide expanded coverage. Your agent may recommend the following:

• Collision coverage to help pay for damage to your vehicle caused by a crash, regardless of fault.

• Comprehensive coverage to help pay for damage to your vehicle from non-collision events like theft, vandalism or weather.

• Medical payments coverage to help pay for medical expenses for you or your passengers after an accident.

• Uninsured property damage coverage can help pay for damage to your vehicle caused by an uninsured driver.

• Roadside assistance can send help if you are stranded or locked out of your vehicle.
