California Insurance › Requirements
California minimum liability: 30/60/15.
California requires liability coverage of at least $30,000 for injury to one person, $60,000 for injuries per accident, and $15,000 for property damage. A licensed agent confirms the current requirement when you buy.
The first is the most the policy pays for one person you injure, the second the most for everyone injured in one accident, and the third the most for damage to other people's property — each in thousands of dollars. The minimum protects other people, not your own car.
It is the least the law allows. A serious accident costs more than the minimum pays, and the difference comes from you. Most drivers with a car worth protecting choose standard or full coverage, which also covers their own vehicle.
