In the United States, as in many other countries, it is a compulsory requirement of all those purchasing vehicles to avail themselves of car insurance, covering liability for injuries and property damage inflicted on others. The issue of insurance is slightly more complex in the US than in some other countries, however, due to the fact that specific requirements and enforcement of the personal liability law regarding insurance vary from state to state. The penalties for failing to purchase auto insurance also vary by state; however, such penalties often incur a substantial fine, the suspension or revocation of the motorist’s registration, and, in some states, actual jail time.
The usual minimum requirement under US law is third-party insurance in order to protect third parties against the costs and inconveniences caused by road traffic injury.
