Connecticut Auto & Property Coverage Requirements

What are Connecticut's minimum auto liability limits for a registered private passenger vehicle?

  • a.$10,000 PIP and $10,000 property damage only
  • b.$50,000 / $100,000 / $50,000
  • c.$15,000 / $30,000 / $5,000
  • d.$25,000 / $50,000 / $25,000✓

Per Connecticut DMV insurance-requirement guidance, the minimum is 25,000 dollars bodily injury per person, 50,000 dollars per accident, and 25,000 dollars property damage (25/50/25). These are minimums that can be increased by law, so current figures should be confirmed with the state.

Connecticut Auto & Property Coverage Requirements

Connecticut auto policies must include which coverage that pays the insured's own injury damages when the at-fault driver has no or insufficient insurance?

  • a.Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage✓
  • b.Med-pay only, with no UM requirement
  • c.Gap coverage
  • d.Personal injury protection (PIP)

Connecticut requires uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage with minimum limits matching the bodily-injury liability minimums (25,000/50,000). UM/UIM protects the policyholder when another driver is uninsured or underinsured; it is not optional in Connecticut.

Connecticut Auto & Property Coverage Requirements

How does Connecticut generally handle auto injury claims?

  • a.As a traditional at-fault (liability) state, with mandatory UM/UIM to cover uninsured drivers✓
  • b.As a pure no-fault state where each driver's insurer pays regardless of fault
  • c.By barring all lawsuits arising from auto accidents
  • d.Through a state-run fund that pays all claims

Connecticut is a traditional at-fault liability state, not a no-fault state: injury claims are pursued against the responsible driver, and required UM/UIM coverage fills the gap when that driver is uninsured or underinsured.
