Arkansas

Arkansas requires minimum liability of 25/50/25 — $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 property damage. These are state minimums; consumer advocates typically recommend higher limits (100/300/100) to cover serious injuries.

Bodily injury liability in Arkansas 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 liability in Arkansas 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.

Arkansas REQUIRES uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage on every auto policy. UM bodily injury coverage must be offered; written rejection allowed. UIM and medical-payments coverage must also be offered. UM/UIM coverage protects YOU and your passengers when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries.

Self-insurance certificate available for owners of 26 or more vehicles via the Office of Motor Vehicle. SR-22 may be required after at-fault uninsured accidents, DWI, or repeat suspensions.
