Massachuetts Insurance Coverage Limits

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

In nearly every personal injury case, the amount of available insurance coverage is one of the initial and most important questions that must be answered. Several issues may arise in the context of determining the availability of coverage for a particular accident.

Coverage Minimum Limits

In Massachusetts, a person is required to carry automobile insurance and it is illegal not to do so. Any insurance policy issued in our state has minimum coverage limits. In Massachusetts, every driver is required to carry coverage with at least $20,000.00 per injured person and $40,000.00 per accident. Additionally, you are required to have uninsured motorist protection in the same amounts.
