Connecticut requires liability coverage — but that only protects the other driver. We'll make sure your policy protects you, your car, and everyone who rides with you.
Connecticut requires every registered vehicle to carry 25/50/25 liability coverage — $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 property damage — plus uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage at those same 25/50 limits. These minimums did not change for 2026.
Connecticut is one of the states that mandates uninsured motorist coverage, which surprises drivers moving in from elsewhere. Collision and comprehensive are not required by the state — but if you have a loan or lease, your lender almost certainly requires both. You must also keep your insurance ID card and registration in the vehicle.
| Coverage | What it pays for | CT minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Bodily injury liability | Injuries you cause to one other person | $25,000 |
| Bodily injury liability | Total injuries you cause in one accident | $50,000 |
| Property damage liability | Damage you cause to vehicles or property | $25,000 |
| Uninsured / underinsured motorist | Your injuries when the at-fault driver has no or too little coverage | $25,000 / $50,000 |
| Collision | Your vehicle after an at-fault crash | Not required |
| Comprehensive | Theft, weather, fire, hitting an animal | Not required |
Why the minimum is rarely enough: $25,000 is roughly the cost of a single ambulance ride plus a short hospital stay. A serious accident routinely runs past $100,000. Anything above your limit comes out of your own pocket — and in Connecticut an injured party can pursue your wages, savings, and home equity to collect it. Carrying 100/300/100 typically costs a few dollars a month more than the state minimum.

Many drivers have no idea what their auto policy actually covers until they file a claim. By then, it's too late to fix it. We review your policy to make sure coverage limits, deductibles, and exclusions make sense for your real situation — not just whatever the algorithm defaulted to.
Understanding the difference between coverage types is how you avoid surprises at claim time.
