Car Insurance Question  Does Wisconsin require that the driver of a car have liability insurance coverage?

Wisconsin has a financial responsibility law that pertains to any motorist licensed to drive in Wisconsin. This law is designed to make sure anyone operating a vehicle has insurance or enough money to pay for damages to others that may have been caused by a motor vehicle. These requirements may be met through an automobile liability insurance policy, a surety bond, personal funds or a certificate of self-insurance.

Check out Wisconsin's Minimum Insurance Requirements.

If the motorist decides to satisfy the financial responsibility law requirements by buying auto insurance there are certain minimum liability limits that must be purchased. These limits include: $25,000 for injury or death of one person; $50,000 for injury or death of two or more people; and $10,000 for property damage. The law also requires uninsured motorist coverage of $25,000/$$50,000 for bodily injury liability coverage only.
