Wisconsin might have very different requirements from where you came from and I can give you just some basics.
Although I strongly recommend that you get complete information concerning auto insurance in Wisconsin residents by calling the Wisconsin Commissioner of Insurance located in Madison.
I know that all Wisconsin residents are required to carry uninsured motorist insurance. This auto insurance will provide recompense for drivers who are involved in an accident for which a driver who does not possess liability insurance is responsible. Without this coverage you would have no other option but to pay for their medical expenses and repair bills yourself and it is a given that they will always attempt to recoup losses from you.
Although, liability auto insurance is not required in Wisconsin, it is strongly suggested that all drivers purchase liability insurance. The prospect of being held financially liable for the gigantic expense of medical and repair bills resulting from an accident in Wisconsin can be a daunting one. Minimum level of liability available in WI is 25/50/10.
This means liabilities are twenty five thousand dollars for injuries suffered by a single driver, fifty thousand dollars for the combined medical expenses of all of the occupants of the vehicle and ten thousand dollars for all property damages, including damage to the vehicle of the victim.
Wisconsin SR22 Insurance
Q: How much Wisconsin SR22 insurance do I need to have?
A: Wisconsin is one of he few states which does not actually require its drivers to have car insurance, so those who are in the few categories which indeed do have to buy insurance are more unfamiliar with it than those in other states. If you live in Wisconsin and have to be insured, it’s probably because you’re either under 18 or you need a Wisconsin SR22 because your license was suspended.
The minimum car insurance coverage required for someone who needs a Wisconsin SR22 policy is pretty low. You need, a least, to have ten thousand dollars in coverage to take care of property damage, as well as twenty five thousand for bodily injury, and fifty thousand in case of a death. If you are required to have Wisconsin SR22 insurance, then you will need to carry proof of insurance, in the form of an insurance card, on you at all times in case you get pulled over by a police officer.
