REQUIRED COVERAGES IN COLORADO

Liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage claims resulting from an accident that is primarily your fault. The limits in your policy are the maximum amounts your insurance company will pay for bodily injury and property damage claims.

Colorado's law requires you to maintain liability limits* of at least:

$25,000 | Bodily Injury per Person

The first number is the maximum amount that your policy will pay for bodily injury to or death of one (1) person in any one (1) accident.

$50,000 | Bodily Injury per Accident

The maximum amount that your policy will pay for bodily injury to or death of two (2) or more persons in any one (1) accident, subject to the $25,000 per person limit.

$15,000 | Property Damage

The maximum amount that your policy will pay for injury to or destruction of property of others in an accident.

*Liability limits are typically expressed as three amounts separated by slashes written as 25/50/15 or 25,000/50,000/15,000.

Proof of Financial Responsibility & Penalties

Under Colorado law, you are required to provide documentary proof of Financial Responsibility prior to operating a motor vehicle. If you are unable to produce proof of liability coverage when requested, the penalties can be harsh, ranging from first offense penalties of $50 to $500 and five (5) days up to six (6) months in county jail.

Insurance companies are required to notify the Colorado Department of Revenue of each policy issued, and provide updates every six (6) months.

In addition to these statutory penalties, if you cannot show proof of financial responsibility, fail to pay a judgment entered against you for damages resulting from an automobile accident, or need to reinstate your license after conviction for certain types of violations, you will be required to obtain an SR-22 Certificate of Financial Responsibility.
