South Carolina Car Insurance Requirements: Are you protected?
South Carolina Car Insurance Requirements:
Are you protected?
If I have learned one thing in private practice it is that many drivers on our roadways do not have enough car insurance to properly protect others, themselves, and their families from a serious motor vehicle accident. Many drivers opt for the cheapest insurance, which normally means the lowest amount of coverage. Keeping that in mind, if you were involved in a serious accident with one of these drivers who would pay the medical bills? This is why it is important to know your State’s minimum insurance requirements, and then examine your own policies to ensure you have adequate underinsured and uninsured coverage in the event you are in a motor vehicle accident. Below are the minimum policy limits in South Carolina.
South Carolina Car Insurance Requirements
$25,000 for bodily injuries and death of one person in accidents that are caused by the driver/owner of the vehicle that is insured.
$50,000 for total bodily injuries and death liability in accidents that are caused by driver/owner of the insured vehicle.
$25,000 per accident for property damage that was caused by the driver/owner of the vehicle that is insured.
