What Is Liability Insurance Insurance?

Liability insurance covers damage you cause to other people and their property when you're at fault in an accident. It pays the other driver's medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and legal fees up to your policy limits.

Who Needs Liability Insurance Insurance?

Liability insurance is legally required to reinstate a suspended Indiana license, regardless of suspension cause. Drivers without a vehicle must carry a non-owner liability policy to satisfy BMV proof-of-insurance requirements. Anyone driving a vehicle in Indiana must maintain continuous liability coverage or face license re-suspension and extended SR-22 filing periods.

If your suspension requires SR-22 filing, your liability policy must remain active for the entire filing period without lapses. A single missed payment triggers an automatic BMV notification and extends your filing requirement. Choose higher-than-minimum limits if you have assets to protect or if your suspension resulted from an at-fault uninsured accident.
