We'll help you determine what's required in Wisconsin and the coverage levels you need for:
Liability
What it is:
This protects you from the injury or death of another driver or passenger from an auto accident if you are determined to be at fault. Some of the things you may be liable for include:
- Their medical expenses
- Their lost wages
- Damages for their pain and suffering
- Damage to their vehicle
- Damage to buildings or other property
Why you need it:
It's the law in Wisconsin. Damages in an accident could be hundreds of thousands of dollars. If damages exceed the amount for which you're insured, you could be left with a personal exposure where the victim can legally pursue you or your assets for reimbursement.
Collision
What it is:
Covers damages to your insured auto that results from a collision with another object which could include things like:
- Another car
- A tree
- A building
Why you might want it:
It helps protect you from large repair bills and if your car is damaged beyond repair, you can recover the actual cash value of your vehicle, minus your deductible.

Helps pay for damage to your car not caused by a collision—things like:
