Changes Are Coming To Minimum Coverage Requirements
Like most states, Nevada requires its drivers to carry a minimum level of liability insurance. Currently, the state minimum requirements, which are expressed as 15/30/10, cover $15,000 in medical expenses incurred by the driver you hit, $30,000 in medical expenses for all passengers of that vehicle, and $10,000 in damage caused to the other person’s property.

In April of 2017, the Nevada Senate approved a bill that will nearly double the minimum liability coverage limits. Beginning on July 1, 2018, drivers will be required to carry at least $25,000 in bodily injury liability, $50,000 in bodily injury liability per accident, and $20,000 in property damage liability.
While drivers who currently carry the state minimum coverage requirements may see a small increase in monthly premiums, overall, this is great news for Nevada residents. Starting in July, those minimum limits will be higher, providing greater protection for all drivers.
What Does the Change Mean for Me?
If you have more than the Nevada state minimum coverage, then you probably won’t be impacted by the new bill. However, if you currently carry the state’s minimum coverage requirements, then your insurance company will be required to update your policy so your premium will most likely be going up in price.
Nevada Insurance Enrollment can help you evaluate your coverage and assist in determining whether it’s sufficient for your needs and lifestyle, as well as the state’s new requirements. We always recommend carrying as much insurance as you can afford, to financially cover your assets.

Does Driving Record Affect Auto Insurance Rate?
While your auto insurance provider bases your monthly premium on numerous factors, including where you live, how old you are and whether you rent or own your home, the factor that most significantly affects your premium is your driving record.

What Is a Health Insurance Network?
Whether you’ve had the same health insurance company for years or switched to a new health insurance company, the variance in cost is directly related to whether a healthcare provider is within your health insurance company’s network (if you have a PPO), if you have a deductible to satisfy first, or if you have a co-pay.

Making Sense of the Numbers
Nevada Minimum Coverage – 25 / 50 / 20
Like most states, Nevada requires that its drivers have liability insurance. You may have noticed that Nevada’s minimum limits are expressed as three numbers: 25/50/20. These numbers are expressed in thousands, and reflect how much your insurance will cover in the event of a covered accident.
♦ If you are responsible for an accident that caused bodily injury to someone else, your liability insurance will cover up to $25,000 of their medical expenses
♦ If two or more people are injured in an accident that you were responsible for, your insurance would cover up to $50,000 of their total medical expenses
♦ If you damage someone’s vehicle or personal property in a collision, up to $20,000 of damages would be covered by your insurance.
Do we recommend you carry the minimum. Absolutely not! Anything above and beyond these numbers that you don’t cover, you are “self-insuring”. Meaning, if you hurt someone and send them to the hospital, and their hospital bill is greater than $25,000, you are saying that your future income and assets will be exposed to pay the remaining medical payments for the other person. This is a very big deal.
Many think, well that will never happen to me. Well, it may not? Or it may! We know folks that have a payment to others for the rest of their lives! And we are not being dramatic!
