Liability-Only Auto Insurance After Suspension

Liability-only auto insurance covers damage you cause to others—their medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs—but pays nothing for your own vehicle or injuries.

What Is Liability-Only Auto Insurance Insurance?

Liability-only auto insurance is the minimum coverage required in nearly every state. It pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident, up to your policy limits. It does not cover damage to your own vehicle, your medical bills, or repairs after a single-car accident. For drivers reinstating after a suspension for unpaid tickets or fines, liability-only meets state reinstatement requirements at the lowest cost.

Who Needs Liability-Only Auto Insurance Insurance?

It satisfies state reinstatement requirements at the lowest legal cost.

How Much Does Liability-Only Auto Insurance Insurance Cost?

  • Driving record—prior at-fault accidents or moving violations increase liability premiums by 20–40 percent, even without a DUI.
  • Zip code—urban areas with higher accident rates and repair costs increase liability premiums compared to rural counties.
  • Credit history—in states where credit-based insurance scoring is allowed, lower credit scores increase liability-only premiums by 30–60 percent.
  • Prior suspension length—a suspension lasting over six months signals higher risk to carriers and increases premiums by 10–20 percent.
