New Hampshire Auto Insurance Laws
New Hampshire operates under the Tort system. In the event
of an automobile accident for which you are at fault, claims
for bodily injury or property damage arising from that accident
may be filed against you.
New Hampshire law does not require
you to have automobile insurance. However, you must satisfy
the NH Financial Responsibility requirements to operate a
vehicle in New Hampshire. These minimum limits are 25/50/25:
bodily injury of $25,000 per person; $50,000 for 2 or more
persons; and Property Damage of $25,000. A $75,000 single
limit policy will also satisfy the minimum requirement.
The insurance industry recommends that drivers purchase
higher liability limits in the case of serious car accidents.
New Hampshire car insurance companies will also offer option
car insurance coverage for collision, comprehensive, and uninsured
/ underinsured motorist coverage to provide protection for
damages to your own vehicle.
