The state minimum auto insurance coverage in Maine
| Liability Coverage | Minimum | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily Injury Per Person | $50,000 | Each person you injured in an accident that you cause would receive $50,000, up to your policy limit. |
| Bodily Injury Per Accident | $100,000 | The maximum your insurance would pay out for an accident you caused. At state minimums, this would cover 2 people in the other car. Anything above this limit would need to be paid out of pocket. |
| Property Damage Per Accident | $25,000 | The maximum your insurance company would pay to cover damage to the other driver’s vehicle in an accident. |
Although each state sets a minimum liability amount, it’s good practice to review coverage options with your insurance agent. State minimums may not cover you as much as you’d like in the case of a serious accident. Liability coverage does not cover damage to your car or costs from your injuries.
| Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist | Minimum | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily Injury Per Person | $50,000 | The maximum your insurance would pay for your injuries or your passengers injuries in the event of an accident involving an uninsured or underinsured driver. |
| Bodily Injury Per Accident | $100,000 | The maximum your insurance would pay out per accident involving an underinsured or uninsured driver. |
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is only required in some states, but it will protect you if you get into an accident with a motorist without the proper insurance coverage. Uninsured or underinsured motorists can end up costing you due to another driver’s negligence.
| Personal Injury Protection (PIP) | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Per Person | $2,000 |
