Individuals who are harmed or have any property damage as a result of an accident in Tennesse have three options for proceeding after the accident \u2013 file a claim with their own insurance company, file a third-party claim with the insurance company of the at-fault driver, or file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver in a civil court case.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrc-column-grid wrc-column-grid-2\">\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-start\" >\n<h4>Minimum Tennessee Vehicle Insurance<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bodily Injury Liability per injury or death<\/span> &#8211; $25,000<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Bodily Injury Liability per accident<\/span> &#8211; $50,000<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Property Damage Liability per accident<\/span> &#8211; $15,000<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"wrc-column wrc-column-width-1 wrc-column-end\" >\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3271 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/77\/2019\/03\/06044308\/car-insurance-B1_b-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"a man inspecting a damaged car\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/77\/2019\/03\/06044308\/car-insurance-B1_b-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/77\/2019\/03\/06044308\/car-insurance-B1_b.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .wrc-column-grid --><\/p>\n<h3>Why Do I Need Vehicle Insurance?<\/h3>\n<p>It is critical that Tennessee drivers are insured enough to meet the state minimum. Liability insurance coverage helps to pay medical and property damage bills as well as any other costs of individuals who are injured in an accident you are at fault for. Your insurance will cover payments up to your coverage limits and you can always carry more coverage to cover higher costs. Liability insurance coverage does not cover your own vehicle damages or injuries after a car accident. This means you\u2019ll need to have additional insurance to cover your own losses in case the at-fault driver\u2019s insurance does not cover or apply to your losses.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autosimple.com\/blog\/is-no-money-down-really-a-good-deal-when-buying-a-car\/\">Is No Money Down Really a Good Deal When Buying a Car?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carrying proper car insurance is critical to keeping you covered in the event of an accident.
