Wyoming Minimum Liability Requirements
- ItemDescription
- Bodily Injury and Property Damage$25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident and $20,000 for property damage. A more protective level is 100/300/100.
You will often see the numbers 50/100/50 (or, in some cases, 100/300/100) when examining car insurance policies; these figures are in reference to coverage of single-person bodily injury, total bodily injury per vehicle and property damage, respectively.
Let’s say you get into an accident and you have a 100/300/100 full-coverage policy. Your policy will cover up to $100,000 for medical bills from one person’s injury, $300,000 for each vehicle and another $100,000 for property damage.
With State Farm, you will pay just $43 more per year on average for 100/300/100 full-coverage insurance compared to a 50/100/50 full-coverage policy, so the added coverage is likely worth it.
