State Requirements

Arizona operates as a traditional tort liability state, meaning the at-fault driver is financially responsible for accident damages. All drivers must carry proof of financial responsibility, verified through the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division's electronic insurance verification system.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure another person in an at-fault accident. The Arizona Department of Insurance recommends 100/300 limits for adequate protection against personal liability exposure.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage to another party's vehicle or property when you're at fault. A single accident totaling a newer pickup truck or SUV will far exceed this limit, leaving you personally liable for the difference.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Arizona law requires insurers to offer this coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, but you can decline it by signing a rejection form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Arizona a no-fault insurance state?

No, Arizona is a traditional tort liability state. The at-fault driver is financially responsible for all accident damages, meaning injured parties can file claims against the responsible driver's liability insurance or sue for amounts exceeding policy limits. This makes carrying higher liability limits than the 25/50/15 minimum crucial for protecting personal assets.
