- a.A pure tort state with no first-party benefit requirement
- b.A state with no compulsory auto insurance
- c.A no-fault state that requires personal injury protection (PIP) coverage✓
- d.An assigned-risk-only state
Utah is a no-fault state: drivers must carry personal injury protection (PIP), so minor injury claims are paid first-party regardless of fault, and lawsuits for pain and suffering are limited unless a statutory threshold is met (Utah DMV; Utah Code 31A-22-306 et seq.). Confirm current requirements with the Utah Insurance Department.

- a.Not less than $3,000 per person✓
- b.Not less than $10,000 per person
- c.Not less than $25,000 per person
- d.Utah does not require PIP
Under Utah Code 31A-22-307, an auto policy must provide PIP with a minimum medical benefit of not less than $3,000 per person, along with other no-fault benefits. Because figures can change, verify the current PIP minimum with the Utah Insurance Department.

- d.$50,000 / $100,000 / $25,000
Utah Code 31A-22-304 sets minimum limits of $30,000 per person, $65,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage (30/65/25) for policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025 (the prior minimums were 25/65/15). Note the distinctive $65,000 per-accident figure. Verify current limits with the Utah Insurance Department.
