Minimum Coverage Requirements in Wisconsin

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs when you're at fault for injuring another driver. Seniors on fixed incomes should consider 100/300 limits to protect retirement savings from lawsuit judgments, particularly given Wisconsin's harsh winter driving conditions that increase crash severity.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage to another driver's vehicle or property when you're at fault. A collision with a modern SUV or pickup—common in Wisconsin's rural areas—will easily exceed this limit, leaving you personally liable for the difference.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Wisconsin law requires insurers to offer uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage matching your liability limits, but you can decline it in writing.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers non-collision damage from deer strikes, hail, theft, and vandalism. Wisconsin consistently ranks among the top 5 states for deer-vehicle collisions, with over 20,000 reported annually and peak activity during fall months. For seniors who've paid off their vehicles and are considering dropping comprehensive, the deer collision risk alone often justifies keeping this coverage, particularly in rural counties where strikes are most common.

Full Coverage

Combines liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage to protect both you and your vehicle.
