State Requirements

Utah operates as a no-fault state with modified tort rules, requiring drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) alongside liability coverage. All drivers must provide proof of insurance at registration and carry evidence of coverage in the vehicle at all times. The Utah Insurance Department enforces these requirements through the state's uninsured motorist identification database, which cross-references registration records with active policies.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone in an at-fault accident.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage to other vehicles, buildings, fences, and structures you hit in an at-fault crash. A single collision with a newer SUV or truck can exceed this limit, leaving you personally liable for the difference.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Covers your own medical expenses, lost wages, funeral costs, and survivor benefits regardless of who caused the accident — this is Utah's no-fault provision.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage to pay your damages. Insurers must offer this coverage at limits matching your liability policy, but you can decline it by signing a written waiver.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Winter weather losses increase premiums in mountainous counties — vehicles in Summit and Wasatch counties face elevated comprehensive claims from snow, ice, and wildlife collisions on canyon roads.
