Understanding Nebraska’s auto insurance minimums
In Nebraska, drivers are required to carry the following minimum liability coverage limits for auto insurance:
- Bodily Injury Liability Coverage:
- $25,000 per person
- $50,000 per accident
- Property Damage Liability Coverage:
- $25,000 per accident
Bodily injury liability coverage: Provides financial protection for causing bodily harm to others in an auto accident. It includes medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and rehabilitation costs. If you’re sued, your policy may also pay legal defense costs. Coverage is subject to policy limits and exclusions.
Property damage liability coverage: Coverage for damage you cause to someone else’s property in an auto accident where you’re at fault. This includes the costs of repairing or replacing the other party’s vehicle, as well as any other damaged property, such as fences or other structures. Additionally, your policy may help with legal fees if you’re sued for the property damage you caused. Coverage is subject to certain limitations and exclusions.
In addition to the minimum liability coverage requirements, Nebraska mandates coverage for uninsured motorist bodily injury, with the following minimum limits:
- Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury Coverage:
- $25,000 per person
- $50,000 per accident
Uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage: Provides protection if you’re injured in an accident caused by a driver who’s uninsured or doesn’t have enough coverage to pay for your medical bills and other expenses.
It’s important to understand that these are just the minimum requirements, and Nebraska drivers may choose higher coverage limits for added protection.
Additional coverage considerations in Nebraska
Opting for additional auto insurance coverage beyond state-mandated minimums can provide invaluable protection in various scenarios. It’s not only a wise choice for safeguarding your financial assets, but may be required coverage if you lease or finance your car. Here are some additional coverage Nebraska drivers might consider:
- Comprehensive (other than collision): Provides coverage for damage to your vehicle caused by things other than a collision. Includes damage from falling trees or rocks kicked up by other cars.
- Collison coverage: Coverage for repairs to your vehicle if it’s damaged in a collision with another vehicle or object, regardless of fault.
- Rental reimbursement: If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and needs repairs, rental reimbursement coverage pays for transportation costs. Coverage includes rental cars, ridesharing or public transportation like trains, taxis and buses.
- Auto loan/lease coverage: Coverage for the difference between what you owe on your loan or lease and the current value of your vehicle if it’s totaled in a covered accident.
- Roadside assistance coverage: Provides roadside assistance 24/7 for issues you may face on the road like changing flat tires, jumping dead batteries, towing your car, unlocking doors and getting your vehicle unstuck from mud or snow.
- Repairing or replacing auto glass: Provides coverage for repair or replacement of your windshield, windows and other auto glass, without a deductible.
Key factors impacting Nebraska car insurance rates:
There are several factors that impact auto insurance in Nebraska, including individual circumstances, location, claims in your state and more. Consider these points:
- Driving history: Your individual driving record significantly impacts insurance premiums. Drivers in Nebraska with a history of accidents or traffic violations typically face higher rates, while those with clean records may see lower rates.
- Coverage options and limits: Opting for the state-mandated minimum coverage is usually less expensive, while adding optional coverages with higher limits will increase protection and premiums.
- Vehicle type: Factors such as the make and model of your vehicle, its safety rating, and repair costs all influence your car insurance premiums in Nebraska.
- Weather patterns in Nebraska: Weather-related incidents impact your rates, particularly for comprehensive coverage that includes protection against damage caused by the weather.
It’s important to know that auto rates change over time for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons, like your driving record and claim history, are within your control, while others, like industry repair rates and claim frequency in your area, are not. If your auto rates increase, you may be able to mitigate the increase by adjusting your coverage or deductible, or qualifying for policy discounts.
