Required Minimum Liability Coverage

North Dakota requires minimum liability of 25/50/25 ($25,000 bodily injury per person / $50,000 per accident / $25,000 property damage), PLUS Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $30,000. North Dakota is a no-fault state, so drivers recover medical costs from their own PIP coverage regardless of fault.

Bodily Injury Coverage Requirements

Bodily injury liability in North Dakota pays for medical bills, lost wages, and pain-and-suffering damages owed to people YOU injure in an at-fault crash. The minimum is $25,000 per injured person and $50,000 total per accident. These are caps on what your insurer will pay; you are personally liable for damages above the policy limit.

Property Damage Coverage

Property damage liability in North Dakota pays for damage YOU cause to other people's vehicles, fences, buildings, and other property. The minimum is $25,000 per accident. Given the rising cost of vehicles and repairs, this minimum often falls short of a single luxury vehicle's repair bill.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

North Dakota REQUIRES uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on every auto policy. UM/UIM coverage at 25/50 bodily injury is mandatory. UM/UIM coverage protects YOU and your passengers when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

North Dakota REQUIRES Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $30,000. PIP pays your own medical bills, a portion of lost wages, and certain replacement services after a crash, regardless of who was at fault. PIP is the cornerstone of the state's no-fault system.

No-Fault System

North Dakota is a no-fault state requiring $30,000 PIP per person. Tort actions are limited unless the injury exceeds the PIP threshold or causes serious permanent injury.

Self-Insurance & Bond Alternatives

Self-insurance certificates available for fleets of 26+ vehicles through the Insurance Department. SR-22 required for one year after DUI, uninsured accidents, or repeat suspensions.
