Alabama Could Hike Minimum Auto Liability Limits This Week

Monday, June 4th, 2007 Auto Liability

Eight years after making auto liability insurance mandatory, the Alabama Legislature could decide this week to increase the amount of insurance that motorists must buy. The proposal — $25,000 in insurance coverage for a single injury or death, $50,000 for multiple injuries or deaths, and $25,000 for property damage — is a compromise between plaintiff lawyers, who wanted motorists to carry twice that much, and insurance companies, which said raising the limits too high would increase the number of drivers who risk driving without coverage.
