As of June 1, 2010, auto insurance is now mandatory for all car owners in Wisconsin. The law requires minimum coverage of $50,000 for the injury or death of one person, $100,000 for the injury or death of two or more people and $15,000 for property damage. Drivers that do not have insurance can be fined up to $500.
The law requires that drives keep proof of their insurance information in the car. Police officers can request proof of insurance at traffic stops and accidents. Failure to provide this proof of insurance can result in a fine of $10.
The law also requires uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage each with minimum limits of $100,000/$300,000 for bodily injury coverage.
More information on the new insurance laws can be found at the websites for the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles.
