Recommended Auto Liability Coverage in Washington State
Washington's legal minimums:
- Bodily Injury Liability: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
- Property Damage Liability: $10,000 per accident
Why Higher Limits Are Wise
- Minimums haven't kept pace with medical/vehicle costs
- At-fault accidents can exceed $100k+ easily
- Personal assets (home, savings) at risk if underinsured
Recommended Upgrades
- 100/300/100 ($100k BI per person / $300k per accident / $100k PD)
- Umbrella policy: $1M+ excess liability, ~$150–300/yr
