Required Minimum Liability Coverage

Michigan requires minimum liability of 50/100/10 ($50,000 bodily injury per person / $100,000 per accident / $10,000 property damage), PLUS Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $250,000. Michigan 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 Michigan pays for medical bills, lost wages, and pain-and-suffering damages owed to people YOU injure in an at-fault crash. The minimum is $50,000 per injured person and $100,000 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 Michigan pays for damage YOU cause to other people's vehicles, fences, buildings, and other property. The minimum is $10,000 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

Michigan does not strictly require UM/UIM coverage, but insurers must offer it. UM/UIM coverage is optional and must 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.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Michigan REQUIRES Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $250,000. 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

Michigan reformed its no-fault system in 2019. Drivers now choose PIP medical limits ($50k Medicaid, $250k, $500k, or unlimited). The default minimum for new policies is $250,000 unless a different tier is selected.

Self-Insurance & Bond Alternatives

SR-22 may be required after DUI, uninsured accidents, or repeat suspensions.
