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

Other types of auto insurance you can add to your policy are:

Collision coverage

Collision coverage will help pay for damages to your car in the event that your car hits another vehicle or an object, such as a building or guard rail.

Comprehensive coverage

Medical payments

Medical payments help pay for you or your passengers if they get hurt in an accident in your vehicle.
