State Requirements

Minnesota operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning your own policy covers your medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. All drivers must carry proof of insurance and provide it during traffic stops or after accidents. The state also requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) as part of the minimum coverage package, setting Minnesota apart from traditional tort liability states.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers injuries you cause to others in an at-fault accident.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage you cause to another person's vehicle or property. Hitting a guardrail, fence, or building can quickly surpass this limit.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Mandatory in Minnesota's no-fault system, PIP covers your medical bills, lost income, and essential services like childcare after an accident regardless of fault. Minnesota law allows you to reject higher PIP limits in writing, but this leaves you exposed if injuries exceed the base amount.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage to pay for your injuries. Insurers must offer this at the same limits as your bodily injury liability unless you reject it in writing.

Comprehensive and Collision Coverage

Comprehensive covers non-collision events like theft, hail, deer strikes, and vandalism, while collision pays for damage from accidents regardless of fault. Minnesota sees elevated comprehensive claims due to frequent deer collisions in rural areas and hail damage from severe spring and summer storms. Lenders require both if you finance or lease a vehicle.
