Liability Insurance in Virginia:

In Virginia, the minimum amount for liability insurance is:

• $30,000 for Bodily Injury for one person. This will be the cost that your insurance carrier will pay for when another person is injured in an accident you have been found responsible for causing.
• $60,000 for Bodily Injury for multiple people. This is the total cost that your insurance carrier will pay if multiple people have been injured in an accident you have caused.
• $20,000 for Property Damage for each accident. This will be the total cost that your insurance carrier will pay for any property you damaged while in an accident.

It is a State requirement to hold the minimum amount of Virginia Liability Insurance.

Under Virginia Code 46.2-706. All registered motor vehicle owners in the state of Virginia are required to have liability car insurance or a substantial amount of money to pay for any losses or damages caused within an auto accident.

Three ways the financial responsibility can be met is by:

• The owner of the motor vehicle will need the minimum liability coverage with a policy issued by an insurance carrier.
• The owner of the vehicle can show proof of having a Surety Bond.
• The owner of the vehicle pays the $600 Uninsured Motor Vehicle fee.

Virginia State Fun Facts!

Not only is it known for being the first permanent English settlement in the United States of America, but it is also known as “The Birthplace of a Nation.”

In 1607, the United States became found in Jamestown, Virginia. Jamestown also was the first Capital for Virginia. However by 1699, the States Capital changed to Williamsburg. Only another 80 years later, in 1779, and the State Capital was changed one last time to Richmond. This was due to Governor Thomas Jefferson believing that Williamsburg was subject to more attacks from the British.

In 2022, Virginia ranked 8th place out of all 50 states with the lowest average car insurance premiums!

Why stop at only liability?

Having Full Coverage means you have comprehensive and collision coverage added on your auto policy.

Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle by covering the costs in damages done to your car from external sources such as fire, flood, tree falling, or even theft.

Collision coverage protects your vehicle by covering the costs in damages done to your vehicle when coming in contact with an object (such as a pole) or another vehicle (whether parked or moving), resulting in an accident.

Therefore, when having both of these coverages on your auto policy, you are essentially fully covered from a majority of scenarios that can cause damage to your vehicle.

It is important to keep in mind that with full coverage insurance, you will need to pay the deductible set on your policy first before insurance will kick in.

However, if you have only liability then you will need to pay out of pocket for any of the expenses in damages caused to your vehicle.

Unfortunately, young drivers may see a higher price for insurance than other drivers they know. However, this does not mean that due to the increased rates, you should not get insurance. In fact, despite the age, having Virginia liability insurance is something every current citizen there should carry when operating a vehicle.

Just a few reasons why young drivers tend to pay more are due to:

• They are highly likely to be involved in car accidents.
• Them not already having a driving record built up (this comes with the time of driving on the roads of course).
• They are more likely to be distracted whether it is by their cell phone, putting on makeup/fixing hair, having the music turned up to full volume, or even eating while driving.
• They have a lower credit score.
• They pose a risk to Insurance Carriers, financially speaking.
• They are more reckless when operating a vehicle. Examples include speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, etc.

Statistics from 2019 show that:

I understand you all may want to impress your partner or friends, but the consequences that follow may end fatally. So instead, buckle up, stay within the speed limit, and stay focused!

If you have never been involved in an accident, moving violations, or adding points to your license then you should have a clean driving record.

Individuals with a clean driving record will find themselves with better rates when it comes to having auto insurance.

Insurance carriers are likely to lower the cost for having auto insurance with them since you are a low risk client. Low risk clients are considered safer drivers. This means it is more unlikely for them to be involved in an accident or to file a claim.
